'Can hardly walk': Crystal Palace suffer fresh blow as Kamada out of Leeds trip | OneFootball

Leeds United welcome a depleted Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Daichi Kamada to miss the Elland Road trip after limping off in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the Japan international received treatment and was replaced in the 67th minute, with Oliver Glasner saying it appears to be a hamstring issue after an awkward landing. A scan is due and he thinks Kamada could be out for a couple of weeks.

Palace are already without attacking full-back Daniel Munoz after knee surgery, while Ismaila Sarr returned from an ankle issue on Sunday but will head to AFCON this week. Top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta is having his minutes carefully managed.

The schedule is punishing, with Saturday set to be their fourth match in 10 days and arriving only 48 hours after hosting KuPS in the Conference League on Thursday. Glasner has said he will not start anyone in both games this week, before Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on 23 December.

Leeds are monitoring striker Lukas Nmecha, who has missed the last two matches with a hamstring issue picked up against Chelsea. Daniel Farke did not categorically rule him out before the draw at Brentford, hinting the problem may not be too serious.

Longer-term absentees Sean Longstaff and Daniel James remain out with hamstring tendon and calf injuries. No fresh concerns were noted at the Gtech Community Stadium, and Leeds have a full week to recover before Palace visit.
