Two key players return while three out as Leeds United prepares for relegation battle

Leeds United were thrashed 6-1 at home by Liverpool yesterday night, leaving Javi Gracia requiring a miracle to keep his club from slipping into relegation.

The Whites need a significant turnaround in the next three games if they are to retain their Premier League status, having suffered two embarrassing defeats recently.

Following a 5-1 loss to Crystal Palace, Liverpool traveled to Elland Road on Monday evening and imposed an even harsher scoreline, winning 6-1.

Javi Gracia faces a significant assignment in correcting his team’s frightening surrender in the last two games, and he will be hoping for important players to return as the focus shifts to Fulham.

Here, we look at the most recent injury news following last night’s awful loss…

Patrick Bamford

Bamford was absent from last night’s game against Liverpool due to an injury sustained in the defeat to Crystal Palace.

Max Wöber

Wöber provided Leeds with a huge boost as he was fit enough to be named on the bench last night, shaking off the problem he picked up in the international break, seeing him miss three games for the Whites.

Tyler Adams

Adams was again absent as he recovers from hamstring surgery, that is likely to see him miss the majority of the remaining games this season.

Adam Forshaw

Forshaw made his first appearance for Leeds since the end of 2022 when he came off the bench for Gracia, putting an end to his four-month injury nightmare.

Stuart Dallas

Dallas is yet to return from injury, despite the fact that it has been a year since his last game for the team, when he shattered his femur at the end of April 2022.
