Leeds count three out and three doubts before Man Utd, April lay-off feared | OneFootball

Leeds United will visit Manchester United with three players ruled out and three others doubtful, and two of the absentees might not feature again in April. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke detailed the issues before Monday's trip to Old Trafford.

The setbacks followed Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final win at West Ham United. Anton Stach limped off after a penalty-area collision with Max Kilman and later posted a photo of a badly swollen ankle. Joe Rodon turned his ankle attacking a set-piece, and Noah Okafor was withdrawn after feeling his hamstrings.

Stach and Rodon have ankle injuries and will definitely miss Monday. Daniel James is also out with an adductor strain, sustained before the West Ham game.

Jaka Bijol has not trained this week after a knock, Noah Okafor has back problems and Gabriel Gudmundsson has a light groin issue, so all three are doubts. Farke said that if the match were tomorrow none would be available, though the Monday schedule offers some hope.

The ankle problems for Stach and Rodon could keep them out for the rest of April, which includes trips to Manchester United and Bournemouth, a home game with Wolves and an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley. Farke described ligament injuries in the ankle and suggested April minutes look unlikely. He added that any April appearance would be a bonus and May appears more realistic.
