Leeds United predicted XI at West Ham after double injury boost, harsh call and midfield headache | OneFootball

Leeds United finish their Premier League return at West Ham on Sunday. Daniel Farke’s side have pride and a potential rise up the table to chase, while the hosts must win and hope Tottenham Hotspur lose at Everton to stay up.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Farke said on Friday the injury picture remains tricky, with Sean Longstaff joining six other absentees from the 1-0 win over Brighton. He could, however, welcome back two important defenders, a boost for a stretched squad.

Karl Darlow should continue in goal after producing arguably his best display of the season against Brighton. The Welshman has steadied the ship and would head into any contract talks in a strong position.

Joe Rodon has shown no sign of easing off since safety was secured. Jaka Bijol was immense against Brighton and will need to hit similar levels with West Ham desperate for a win, probably facing in-form Taty Castellanos. Pascal Struijk is back in training after a hip issue and could return, which would be harsh on the solid Sebastiaan Bornauw.

Jayden Bogle is also back in training after a hamstring problem and could start if fit. His cover Dan James has struggled on the right. With the pressure off, Sunday might also be a chance for potential summer exits to sign off.
