Daniel Farke gives Leeds team news for West Ham FA Cup tie, Calvert-Lewin doubt, Stach likely OK | OneFootball

Daniel Farke has issued a fitness update ahead of Leeds United’s FA Cup quarter-final at West Ham on Sunday, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin a doubt after a hamstring issue, while Anton Stach is expected to be available.

Calvert-Lewin returned for England with second-half minutes against Uruguay, then was among eight players to leave the camp before the Japan friendly, which was pre-planned as boss Thomas Tuchel trimmed his squad, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk.

Left back Gabriel Gudmundsson, suspended before the break, took a bang to his knee in last Thursday’s World Cup qualifying play-offs semi-final against Ukraine, went off, declared himself fine, then completed the win over Poland in the final.

Noah Okafor was an unused substitute against Germany amid reports of a warm-up knock, then did not feature against Norway. Dan James, recently back from a hamstring tendon issue, scored and played 84 minutes in Wales’ penalty defeat to Bosnia, with Craig Bellamy citing cramp, before a 45-minute outing from the bench against Northern Ireland.

Farke said the squad reconvened, with some players restricted to recovery work and a few minor knocks to assess, so late calls are likely. Stach missed a day with a hip complaint but has returned to training and should be available. Calvert-Lewin ended a session early with discomfort, did not train the next day and was scanned as a precaution, and Farke hopes he can rejoin team training before Sunday, though his availability for the London Stadium remains in doubt.
