Leeds United lose Pascal Struijk for Chelsea, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ilia Gruev in contention | OneFootball

Leeds United have mixed team news for Tuesday's trip to Chelsea, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ilia Gruev in contention but a key defender out.

Leeds Live reports that Pascal Struijk has a hip flexor issue and will not feature, while Calvert-Lewin and Gruev currently seem to be available. Calvert-Lewin had been ill, and there were no knocks or muscle problems reported.

Chelsea, seen as reborn under new manager Liam Rosenior, have won four on the bounce in the Premier League and are closing on Aston Villa in third.

Leeds have lost one of their last four and travel south buoyed by Friday's important win over relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.

Anton Stach is due back for the Villa game, so he will miss Chelsea, with hopes the rest of the squad are available.

Struijk has missed only two league matches this season and is expected to be in contention for the FA Cup tie at Birmingham City this weekend.
