Newcastle United v Leeds United injuries, six out, four doubts, with key return | OneFootball

Leeds United visit Newcastle United on Wednesday with six players ruled out and four more classed as doubts, and a key Leeds player will be back. Both sides face a quick turnaround after Sunday, Leeds drew 1-1 with Manchester United, Newcastle beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at St James’ Park.

Newcastle are without Dan Burn with a rib and chest or abdominal injury, Emil Krafth with a knee problem, and forward William Osula due to an ankle issue, while Jamaal Lascelles also remains out. Last month Eddie Howe said, 'Jamaal is not feeling great in his body at the moment so I don't think that is an option for us', Chronicle Live reported.

Leeds winger Dan James remains sidelined as he recovers from the hamstring tendon injury suffered in the 3-2 defeat at Manchester City at the end of November.

Centre-back Joe Rodon faces around three weeks out after sustaining ankle ligament damage in the end-of-year 1-1 draw at Sunderland.

Newcastle welcomed back key men for the win over the Eagles.
