Leeds United squad revealed for Fulham FA Cup clash as trio remain sidelined for Javi Gracia

Javi Gracia has a handful of injury concerns to ponder ahead of Leeds United's FA Cup fifth round clash against Fulham on Tuesday night.

Victory over Southampton lifted spirits in West Yorkshire as all eyes now turn to the FA Cup. If Gracia's side can knock out Fulham during their trip to Craven Cottage, they will become the first Leeds team to reach the quarter-final stages in almost 20 years.

Wins over Cardiff City and Accrington Stanley have set up their trip to the capital, while Marco Silva's side have beaten Hull City and Sunderland to reach the fifth round.

Gracia made one change for Leeds' 1-0 victory over the Saints as Brenden Aaronson replaced Crysencio Summerville in his first starting XI. Sam Greenwood will be suspended for the game against Fulham after he picked up back-to-back bookings against Cardiff City and Accrington Stanley in consecutive rounds of the competition.

Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk did not train with the team before the win over Southampton and our chief club writer Beren Cross understands that both Struijk and Cooper will be absent for the game against Fulham.

Struijk's concussion symptoms of blurred vision took longer to pass than originally anticipated - and although he is now fine - he will not be rushed back.

Meanwhile Cooper is not quite ready to return action so will also sit out of the trip to Craven Cottage. Luis Sinisterra is also set to miss out, with Gracia saying the injury situation was 'the same' as the Southampton game.

Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw and Rodrigo will not feature in Tuesday's game as they continue to recover from long-term injuries.

Full Leeds United squad to face Fulham: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Max Wober, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Darko Gyabi, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, Jack Harrison, Luis Sinisterra, Crysencio Summerville, Sonny Perkins, Patrick Bamford, Georginio Rutter.
