Leeds v Arsenal injury latest as five set to miss and Daniel Farke confirms boost | OneFootball

Leeds United host Arsenal at Elland Road with mixed injury news, as five players are set to miss out. The Whites have lost only one of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

According to Leeds Live, Arsenal's fitness issues are easing, with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba available after midweek management. Riccardo Calafiori is fit again and Kai Havertz remains available, while Max Dowman is the only expected absentee.

Gabriel Gudmundsson has improved quicker than expected after missing the 1-1 draw at Everton on Monday. He had not returned to team training by Thursday, so there is only a small chance he makes the squad.

Lukas Nmecha is ruled out after reporting a hamstring problem during the warm-up at Everton. Leeds hope to have him back for Nottingham, and there is probably a good chance.

Jaka Bijol also misses the Arsenal game after two matches out. He is progressing in rehab and could return after the Nottingham fixture, with a small possibility of involvement in that match.

Daniel James has partially rejoined training after more than two months out with a hamstring issue. Despite that boost, he is highly likely to remain absent this weekend.
