Leeds suffer Gabi Gudmundsson blow as Bornauw starts and Stach returns at Everton | OneFootball

Leeds United travel to Everton without first choice left back Gabi Gudmundsson as Daniel Farke makes two changes and keeps faith with Karl Darlow.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Gudmundsson missed training on Thursday with an adductor issue and has not made the squad. Sebastiaan Bornauw starts, while Anton Stach returns for Noah Okafor, who drops to the bench.

Darlow begins his second successive league match, with former first choice Lucas Perri again among the substitutes.

Stach rejoined training during the week after an adductor strain ruled him out against Fulham. Jayden Bogle is back from injury, Jaka Bijol faces two to three weeks out with a hamstring problem and James Justin covers centrally.

Dan James has been partially reintegrated into team training after his hamstring tendon injury at Manchester City in November, but he is not yet match ready and is not in the squad.

For Everton, Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye come straight into the team, replacing the injured Jack Grealish and Merlin Rohl, the latter on the bench. Jarrad Branthwaite, Carlos Alcaraz and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also return to the bench after injuries.

Everton start with Jordan Pickford, Vitalii Mykolenko, O'Brien, James Tarkowski, Nathan Patterson, James Garner, Idrissa Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, Armstrong, Dwight McNeil, Barry. Leeds go with Karl Darlow, Jayden Bogle, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, James Justin, Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Anton Stach, Brenden Aaronson, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
