Leeds boss confirms duo are fit for Chelsea clash – but reveals injury blow for key man | OneFootball

Daniel Farke is confident that both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ilia Gruev will be available for Tuesday’s game against Chelsea.

Calvert-Lewin has been struggling with illness but played and scored in Leeds’ win over Nottingham Forest on Friday.

Gruev is also expected to be fit for the game after taking a knock against Forest.

“At the moment, both seem to be available,” Farke said.

“Dominic was struggling a little bit with illness but I hope it’s not too bad and I hope he’s available. In terms of knocks and muscle injuries, there’s nothing.

“Ilia is tough.”

But in bad news for the Leeds boss, defender Pascal Struijk will miss the game after picking up an injury on Friday.

Anton Stach is also set to miss out again, meanwhile.

“Bad news with Pascal Struijk, he will definitely miss this game,” Farke said.

“He has got some problems after the game with his hip flexor and the turnaround will be a bit too quick so he will definitely miss this game.

“Anton Stach will also be back probably for the Villa game so they both will definitely miss the game.

“Apart from that, I hope to have everyone available.”
