Leeds United injuries and Gudmundsson absence explained before West Ham FA Cup tie | OneFootball

Leeds United will be without Dan James and have chosen not to risk Gabriel Gudmundsson for the FA Cup quarter-final at West Ham, with both affected by groin problems.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke could not include Wales winger James in his London Stadium squad after he picked up an adductor strain, while left wing-back Gudmundsson was omitted following a minor issue.

James has endured a stop-start campaign, the most serious setback a hamstring tendon problem. He featured for Wales in both fixtures during the international break. The adductor strain is expected to sideline him for a couple of weeks.

Gudmundsson helped Sweden qualify for the World Cup via the play-offs last week, then reported mild groin discomfort before the tie. James Justin continues on the left, with Jayden Bogle at right wing-back.

There is also no place for loanee Facundo Buonanotte in the squad. The Brighton attacker has missed the last five Premier League matchday squads, and his most recent outing was on February 15, starting in the FA Cup against Birmingham City before being withdrawn at the break.
