Leeds United are set to be without up to six senior members of their first-team squad for tonight’s visit of Derby County.
Patrick Bamford, crucially, is available for selection again after the completion of his two-match suspension and is set to immediately return to the starting line-up.
The striker’s return is all but guaranteed with the calf injury to Saturday’s match-winner, Kemar Roofe, who will sit out tonight.
Barry Douglas, Ezgjan Alioski and Tyler Roberts have also been joined in the treatment room by Adam Forshaw, who limped off in the first half at Pride Park.
None of that quartet are even expected to be fit in time for the Championship play-off final if the Whites make it that far.
Pontus Jansson, however, will be touch and go for tonight’s match after missing Saturday’s game with an ankle problem.
Given how well Gaetano Berardi performed at Derby, the Swiss may continue alongside Liam Cooper regardless of Jansson’s recovery.
Full Whites squad: Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas, Pablo Hernandez, Jack Harrison, Kalvin Phillips, Gaetano Berardi, Kiko Casilla, Izzy Brown, Mateusz Klich, Jamie Shackleton, Jack Clarke, Pascal Struijk, Robbie Gotts, Mateusz Bogusz.
