Leeds United are back home this weekend with Bournemouth due at Elland Road on Saturday, following a couple of lengthy away days. Daniel Farke’s side will be brimming with confidence after an excellent 3-1 comeback win over Wolves in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor all scored their first competitive goals for the club.
Those goals came without wide pair Dan James and Willy Gnonto, both of whom missed out through injury, while first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Perri was also unavailable. Jayden Bogle also picked up a nasty-looking foot injury late on at Molineux and was replaced by James Justin.
Weekend visitors Bournemouth also have a couple of fitness issues to contend with, both short and long-term, having drawn 0-0 at home to Newcastle United on Sunday to go fourth in the league. And as both teams take stock after last weekend’s action, the YEP has all the latest early injury news ahead of Saturday’s Elland Road meeting.

4. DOUBT: Lewis Cook

5. OUT: Lucas Perri
The summer signing has missed Leeds' last two away trips with a quad injury. Farke said last week there would be more clarity in the next few days but revealed on Thursday his goalkeeper had not been in full training. Looks set to miss the next two home games. Photo: George Wood
6. OUT: Lucas Perri (continued)
Speaking on Thursday, Farke said: "We hope Lucas can join us next week in team training, so he's not in contention before the international break. Once he's back it doesn't mean he's back to his best after one training session, he needs a bit of time. I don't expect him to be a topic for the squad before the break. Good progress in his rehab, he's doing some work on the grass." | Getty Images
