Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa is sweating on the fitness of defensive duo Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas for the trip to Stoke.
The table-topping Whites will be looking to continue their excellent start to the season when they take on the rock-bottom Potters, who have won just one point from their opening four Championship fixtures.
Skipper Cooper had been a doubt before Wednesday's win over Brentford but was able to play 90 minutes, while Dallas was forced off in final 15 minutes of the 1-0 victory.
Bielsa confirmed in Friday's press conference that should Cooper not make it, Gaetano Berardi will replace him, with Jamie Shackleton waiting in the wings should Dallas be unable to play.
Barry Douglas remains sidelined, with Bielsa hopeful of playing the Scot in Tuesday night's League Cup clash against Stoke, while longer-term absentees Luke Ayling and Tyler Roberts remain sidelined.
The rest of Bielsa's first-tea squad are available, although a number of younger players turned out for the under-23s in a 1-0 win at Ipswich on Friday afternoon.
Jack Clarke, who has missed out on a place on the bench owing to the loanee limit rule skippered Carlos Corberan's side and played all 90 minutes, as did Leif Davis, while Pascal Struijk, Alfie McCalmont, Mateusz Bogusz and Robbie Gotts all played 45 minutes in Suffolk.
Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Adam Forshaw, Ben White, Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford, Ezgjan Alioski, Kiko Casilla, Eddie Nketiah, Stuart Dallas, Helder Costa, Pablo Hernandez, Jack Harrison, Kalvin Phillips, Gaetano Berardi, Kamil Miazek, Robbie Gotts, Alfie McCalmont, Leif Davis, Mateusz Klich, Mateusz Bogusz, Jamie Shackleton, Jack Clarke, Jordan Stevens.
