Leeds United predicted XI vs Tottenham as Okafor injury forces change and Struijk faces race to be fit | OneFootball

Leeds United visit Tottenham on Monday night, with injuries shaping a predicted XI for a trip that could seal safety.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, assistant Edmund Riemer handled media duties after Daniel Farke fell ill, confirming that in-form Noah Okafor is set to miss two games with a calf strain. Pascal Struijk was not training, though there is hope he could be available by Monday.

Gabriel Gudmundsson remains sidelined by a hamstring problem, while Ilia Gruev’s season is over due to a meniscus injury.

The predicted line-up could include Karl Darlow in goal, with Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and, if fit, Struijk in central defence, and Jayden Bogle at right wing-back. Darlow conceded late at Burnley last weekend, while Bogle registered his first assist since early December.

Victory in North London would make safety mathematically certain regardless of other results, and Leeds could be over the line earlier if West Ham lose to Arsenal.
