Anton Stach is expected to miss the next two games for Leeds because of a hip problem.

But boss Daniel Farke has confirmed that defenders Jaka Bijol and James Justin are available for the game against Nottingham Forest on Friday.

However, Lukas Nmecha, like Stach, is also expected to miss out.

“We have some mixed news,” Farke said, providing an update on his squad’s fitness.

“Definitely some good news, Jaka Bijol is back in team training. We have to wait to see how he reacts but that’s definitely positive for us.

“Also James Justin is back in team training, thank god it was just a bruise and not a broken toe. He’s also available for the weekend definitely which is good news.

“Daniel James is making progress. Very good news.

“Lukas Nmecha is not in team training yet. We have two more days but it’s probably unlikely he will make it for this game. But he’s also not too far away.

“The only negative news is that Anton Stach is struggling with some hip problems after the last game day and it looks like he’s likely to miss the game on Friday and also the Chelsea game so definitely not good news with him.

“He’s obviously an important player for us. It’s probably a situation of being out for 10 to 14 days.”
