Daniel Farke named an unchanged side for the Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium, and Dan James returned from an adductor strain to take a place on the bench.

Gruev is usually included in Leeds’ matchday group, so his omission is notable.

He will undergo further assessment, and the club have not provided a timeframe for his return.
