Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road this weekend, with injuries dominating the build-up. Leeds drew 1-1 at Brentford and are unbeaten in three after taking four points from Chelsea and Liverpool.
According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke was without three first-team players at Brentford but, with a full week to prepare, could welcome one absentee back. Palace also have a Europa Conference League tie this week.
Daniel Munoz has had knee surgery and will miss Saturday. Oliver Glasner expects the wing-back to be out for around four to six weeks.
Cheick Doucoure has not played since January after serious knee surgery, with a return still some way off. Chadi Riad Dnanou is back in training but remains short after an ACL rupture in January.
Rio Cardines remains out with a thigh injury sustained in October. Caleb Kporha has an ongoing back issue, no return date, and is almost certain to miss Saturday.
Palace suffered a fresh blow when Daichi Kamada went off in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. Glasner has confirmed a hamstring problem will keep him out for a few weeks, as Leeds step up weekend preparations.
