Leeds United and Man City injury latest with three out, three doubts, four back | OneFootball

Leeds United host Manchester City at Elland Road on Saturday at 5.30pm, with three players out, three doubts and four back across the two squads.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds are six points clear with 11 to play after a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, while City beat Newcastle United 2-1. City would take the title by winning every remaining match, and Arsenal, five points ahead with a game more, could do likewise.

Pascal Struijk returned from a hip injury to start at Villa and completed the match. Anton Stach was also back from a hip problem, starting and scoring a superb free-kick before going off after 83 minutes.

Dan James, sidelined by a hamstring tendon issue in November’s defeat at City and then back pain that ruled him out at Birmingham City, trained last week and was an unused substitute at Villa. City winger Savinho returned to the bench after a quad injury suffered at Sunderland on New Year’s Day.

City remain without Josko Gvardiol, the defender recovering from a tibial fracture sustained in January’s 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea. Mateo Kovacic is also a longer term absentee after November surgery for Achilles and ankle problems.
