Final injury has been provided for Leeds United’s final home game of the season against Brighton - for which blows have left eight players out and three more doubtful but with a pair now back.
Leeds are going into what is their penultimate game of the Premier League season already assured of their top-flight survival which was mathematically guaranteed by Arsenal’s 1-0 win at West Ham last Sunday afternoon.
It meant Leeds were already safe from relegation as they headed for Monday night’s match at fourth-bottom Tottenham Hotspur for which boss Daniel Farke was already without key men.
News of new injuries then emerged as the teams were unveiled and Leeds also suffered another new injury blow in the match itself. It then didn’t get any better as Farke held his pre-match press conference on Friday where he provided the final dose of team news.
But highflying Brighton themselves also have key men missing as they look to complete a final push for a European qualification spot, Fabian Hurzeler’s men sat seventh in the table after winning seven of their last ten games.
Here, ahead of Sunday’s 3pm kick-off at Elland Road, we run through the final team news from both teams combined which now totals eight players out and three more doubtful but two others back.
