Leeds United boosted by return for Spurs game – but three key players have injury worries

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke says Anton Stach and Noah Okafor are major doubts for Saturday’s game against Tottenham, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also been nursing an issue.

Stach and Okafor have both been restricted to individual work this week and are yet to return to team training.

“In the offence we still are struggling a little bit,” Farke said.

“Noah Okafor obviously missed the last game due to some adductor problems.

“He was also not able to have one team training session during this week so far, just individual work for him. So, I can’t really say if he is available for the game.

“The same for Anton Stach with foot problems. Just individual rehab work was possible, so major doubts then both if they are available.”

Calvert-Lewin has also been unable to train because of a foot problem, although Farke says he is cautiously optimistic the striker will recover in time.

“Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a little setback with his foot as well, was not able to train with us today,” he said.

“But I would say I am carefully optimistic that he is back in training hopefully tomorrow and then he would also be available.”

There was more positive news on Joe Rodon, who is back in full training following a hamstring injury.

“Good news with Joe Rodon, he is back in full team training during this week,” Farke said.

“Of course he was out for quite a time but it is definitely good because he is an important player for us and back in training.”
