Leeds and Brighton team news, eight out, three doubts, two return for Elland Road finale | OneFootball

Leeds United host Brighton on Sunday with eight players ruled out and three more rated doubtful across the two squads, though two have returned.

Leeds’ safety was assured by Arsenal’s 1-0 victory at West Ham last Sunday. They then went to Tottenham for their penultimate league match with absentees, picked up further problems before and during the game, and Daniel Farke provided the final update on Friday. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the picture remains mixed for the Elland Road farewell.

Brighton expect Diego Gomez to be available again after a knee issue, with Fabian Hurzeler stating he will be an option on Sunday. Kaoru Mitoma sustained a hamstring injury against Wolves and will miss the final two fixtures. Stefanos Tzimas is out for the season after ACL surgery, and Adam Webster, sidelined all campaign with an ACL injury, is unlikely to feature before the finish.

Leeds’ Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte missed the Tottenham match with a hamstring problem and, in any case, cannot face his parent club. Ilia Gruev is out for the rest of the season after suffering a meniscus knee injury in training.

Brighton arrive with European ambitions alive, sitting seventh after winning seven of their last 10. Kick-off at Elland Road is at 3pm.
