Leeds United team news vs West Ham as Lukas Nmecha starts and Dan James drops out | OneFootball

Pascal Struijk and Jayden Bogle return from injury to start for Leeds United at West Ham on the final day, with Lukas Nmecha in the XI.

According to Leeds Live, Bogle’s comeback sees Dan James make way and Nmecha operate as the left-sided No 10 behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with Brenden Aaronson on the right given Noah Okafor’s calf problem.

Gabriel Gudmundsson is also out after a hamstring issue suffered in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. James Justin continues at left-back, while Struijk lines up with Jaka Bijol and Joe Rodon in a back three.

Karl Darlow starts in goal aiming for a second successive clean sheet in what is the final match before his contract expires, with talks over a new deal expected.

Midfield options are thin, with Ilia Gruev, Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach sidelined. Stach’s problem is a deep cut and Daniel Farke has said he could have featured next week if there were a game, and that it was not behind his omission from Germany’s squad.

Ethan Ampadu starts alongside Ao Tanaka in a 3-4-2-1. Facundo Buonanotte is among the substitutes for the final time before his loan ends, with Rhys Chadwick and Alfie Cresswell also named.
