Leeds United weigh training boosts and surgery setback for West Ham finale | OneFootball

Leeds United head to West Ham United on Sunday with mixed team news, two training boosts offset by Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff being ruled out after the latter’s hernia surgery. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the injury picture remains tricky for the Premier League finale.

Leeds beat Brighton at Elland Road last weekend with a stoppage-time winner, but that match left Stach with a cut that needed stitches after an aerial tangle. The midfielder has also missed out on Germany’s World Cup squad.

Pascal Struijk is back in training and could be available, while Jayden Bogle might return depending on how his body reacts. Work at Thorp Arch this week delivered those positives despite wider absences.

It is not considered a major issue for Stach and he would have been available had the game fallen on Wednesday, but he will miss Sunday. Longstaff is out following surgery on Wednesday, and Ilia Gruev, Gabi Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor remain sidelined.

Leeds want the best possible finish and are hungry to extend their unbeaten run, targeting three points if possible or one if not. The match could influence the fight for the third relegation place, and they will look to mirror the resilience shown against Brighton.
