Leeds United will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they face Cardiff City in south Wales on Saturday. Daniel Farke’s side suffered their first defeat of the season at home to Burnley last weekend but have a good chance to move on against the rock-bottom Bluebirds.
Farke confirmed in his Thursday afternoon press conference that four Leeds players had suffered fresh fitness concerns during the week, but he isn’t alone in managing such issues. Cardiff’s treatment room has been full all season and doesn’t look set to get any quieter.
Below, the YEP has rounded up the latest injury news from both Leeds and Cardiff. Scroll down to see who is a doubt and who is out...
