Leeds United v Crystal Palace team news as Daniel Farke gives update on injuries | OneFootball

Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Saturday evening, with Daniel Farke providing the latest on his squad.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the head coach spoke on Thursday, days after the 1-1 draw at Brentford, addressing longer-term issues for Sean Longstaff and Daniel James and offering an update on Lukas Nmecha.

Palace are in Europa Conference League action just 48 hours before kick-off in West Yorkshire, and Oliver Glasner has promised wholesale rotation between Thursday and Saturday.

Daniel Munoz had knee surgery earlier this month and will miss Saturday, with Glasner estimating four to six weeks out. Cheick Doucoure has been sidelined since January following serious knee surgery and remains some way off. Chadi Riad Dnanou is back in training but still some distance from a return after an ACL rupture in January.

Rio Cardines remains out with a thigh issue dating back to October. Caleb Kporha has a back injury that has ruled him out all season, with no return date, and is almost certain to miss Elland Road. Daichi Kamada, forced off in last weekend’s 3-0 defeat by Manchester City, has a hamstring problem that will keep him out for a few weeks.

Palace also have confirmed first-team absences through AFCON. Leeds have taken five points from a three-game unbeaten run and will hope to extend it at home.
