Edmund Riemer on Noah Okafor injury, Leeds safety hopes and Tottenham | OneFootball

Leeds United head to Tottenham on Monday with Premier League safety within reach, and fresh injury updates shaping Daniel Farke's selection.

Daniel Farke said Noah Okafor has a calf strain and will miss the next two games, adding there is hope he can return for the final match. He explained there was a right-calf issue after the FA Cup game, then a left-calf problem during the Burnley win. Pascal will not train with the group today after a knock, he will work individually and is hoped to be available.

Leeds beat Burnley 3-1 last time out, with goals from Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. They did so without Gabriel Gudmundsson, who sustained a hamstring injury late in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea, and he had been expected to miss Tottenham. Ilia Gruev's season is over after a meniscus injury suffered in the build-up to the recent draw at Bournemouth.

That win moved Leeds to 43 points and they are virtually safe. Survival could be sealed by the end of this week if West Ham, seven points adrift in 18th, lose to Arsenal.

Tottenham sit one place and one point above West Ham and will be under pressure. Roberto De Zerbi's side have won back-to-back matches but remain in serious relegation trouble, so they need another result.
