Leeds United injury & team news vs Manchester United with 2 out, 2 doubts & James Trafford debut chance | OneFootball

Leeds United head to a sold-out Croke Park on Wednesday to face Manchester United, with two out, two doubts and a possible James Trafford debut.

They have won their last three pre-season games against top-flight opposition, the latest a 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha scored. Gabriel Gudmundsson missed out and, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke said the left wing-back could be sidelined for about three more weeks.

Out: Gabriel Gudmundsson, who suffered a hamstring problem against Liverpool. He could also miss the first two Premier League matches.

Out: Ilia Gruev. The midfielder has not featured since an April meniscus injury, was included in the United States tour group but did not make a matchday squad, and remained absent at the weekend.

Doubt: Lucas Perri. A minor issue kept the goalkeeper out of the final two games in the United States and he was not involved last time out. With Trafford signed, there is a sense his proposed loan to Torino could follow.

Doubt: Noah Okafor. After an extended post-World Cup break with Switzerland, he is thought to have returned last week but was not yet involved as he is eased back.

Back: Jaka Bijol. After a minor knock curtailed his tour involvement, the Slovenian logged 60 minutes off the bench on Saturday, giving Farke the option to reunite his strongest back three.

Debut chance: James Trafford. The club-record signing is due to link up with his team-mates today ahead of Dublin and could get an unofficial run-out if Farke feels he is ready.
