Leeds handed injury lift for crucial week as one player misses Bournemouth trip | OneFootball

Leeds United enter a pivotal week boosted by returning players, with Bournemouth away on Wednesday before Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley.

According to Leeds Live, the only absentee for the league game is Anton Stach, who has not recovered from the ankle injury sustained in the FA Cup quarter-final and will not travel. He is not ruled out for Sunday, but is a significant doubt and a return looks more likely next week.

Farke said the group available for the Wolves win remain in contention as things stand. Daniel James is back in full training and fit to play this week. Joe Rodon featured late against Wolverhampton Wanderers and, with no setback, should be available.

Farke cautioned James is unlikely to play a major role at Bournemouth, stressing he needs training sessions to build rhythm. His involvement will be assessed session by session depending on how his body responds.

Leeds collected six points with victory at Manchester United then at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers, and a win at Bournemouth could virtually secure Premier League safety before Wembley.
