A full list of Leeds United’s injuries and suspensions before their Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
Leeds United welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road on Sunday looking to register back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since November.
The Whites climbed into 13th place and two points clear of the relegation zone courtesy of a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
Orel Mangala fired Forest into a 12th-minute lead, before goals from Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra completed a Leeds’ comeback before the break.
Javi Gracia refused to give anything away in his press conference regarding injuries, although Wilfried Gnonto was fit enough to feature on the bench against Forest.
LeedsLive have rounded up all of the Whites’ latest injuries and suspensions before the visit of Palace on Sunday…
Max Wober – thigh
Wober sustained a muscle injury to his thigh in Austria’s 4-1 win over Azerbaijan in the European Championship qualifiers during the international break.
The defender is still recovering from his injury problem, and missed the last two games as a result. Gracia was unwilling to set a timeframe on his absence, although Leeds are hopeful he won’t be out of action for the long-term future.
Gracia said (March 30): “I’m sorry but I cannot clarify because I don’t know. What I know is they’re [Gnonto and Wober] out for this game [Arsenal]. I think it will be more time, one week more, two weeks, it depends on their evolution.”
Tyler Adams – thigh
Adams underwent surgery on a thigh injury after the international break. The midfielder is expected to be out for a lengthy period, although Gracia has not ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
The American international missed the 4-2 win over Wolves before the international break, and withdrew from the USA squad last month. He has since missed Leeds’ last two games against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest respectively.
Adam Forshaw – groin
Forshaw has not played since being replaced at half-time during Leeds’ 0-0 draw against Newcastle on New Year’s Eve.
He had only just returned from a long-term injury layoff, which had seen him sidelined since September. Forshaw suffered a hip problem against the Magpies and will be on the sidelines for a little while longer.
Gracia said (March 16): “Working to recover [his] best condition, but working out of the team, so I can’t tell you more info. Of course, I want them to be ready ASAP, but in this case, I’m not sure the time [he] needs to be back with the team.”
Stuart Dallas – leg
Dallas has been out since suffering a fractured femur against Manchester City in April last year. He had gone to Spain to complete his rehab work but was forced to undergo a second surgery.
Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill hinted that Dallas has an ‘outside chance’ of starring for his country during the summer, although Leeds are approaching his situation cautiously.
Gracia said (March 16): “Working to recover [his] best condition, but working out of the team, so I can’t tell you more info. Of course, I want them to be ready ASAP, but in this case, I’m not sure the time [he] needs to be back with the team.”
