Leeds get mixed injury news for West Ham, with training boosts and surgery blow | OneFootball

Leeds United head to West Ham on Sunday with a tricky injury picture, despite late-season momentum.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke has two players back in training this week, but Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff are ruled out.

Stach suffered a cut needing stitches after an aerial collision in the win over Brighton, while Longstaff underwent hernia surgery on Wednesday.

Ilia Gruev, Gabi Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor remain sidelined. Pascal Struijk has returned to training and could be available if he comes through, and Jayden Bogle might also make it depending on how his body reacts.

Farke views Stach’s issue as short term, suggesting the midfielder would likely have been ready had the match fallen next Wednesday, but he will miss the London trip.

Leeds beat Brighton with a stoppage-time winner despite absences and now seek the best possible finish. Farke wants to extend the unbeaten run and target three points if possible, or one if required, acknowledging injuries remain problematic. The match could help decide the third relegation place, and Leeds will try to find similar solutions on Sunday.
