Leeds United will walk out at Elland Road for the final time this season when they host Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday. Daniel Farke’s side can expect a brilliant welcome from the 36,000 inside having seen their Premier League status secured for another year following West Ham’s weekend defeat against Arsenal.
The Whites followed up that boost with a battling 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur on Monday, doing so in the absence of a few key players. Noah Okafor, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Ilia Gruev were already expected to miss out while there were some other surprise omissions and a fresh injury in-game.
Regardless, Leeds will return home with a spring in their step and hope of extending their Premier League unbeaten run to eight games. Below, the YEP takes a look at the latest injury news from Farke’s side and visitors Brighton ahead of Sunday’s meeting.

1. OUT: Stefanos Tzimas
The young striker hasn't played since early December after suffering an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee. Has undergone surgery and will not play again this season. | Getty Images
2. OUT: Adam Webster
Hasn't featured at all this season due to a serious ACL injury sustained in the summer. The centre-back recently revealed he was back on the grass but given the length of time out, a return for either of Brighton's final two games is unlikely. | Getty Images
3. DOUBT: Diego Gomez
The 23-year-old midfielder suffered a knee injury against Tottenham almost a month ago. Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler didn't rule out a return for Wolves last weekend, which suggests the Paraguayan will be assessed closer to Sunday's trip north. | Getty Images
4. DOUBT: Mats Wieffer
Another who missed out late on at Wolves, having suffered an ankle injury during the previous week's 3-1 defeat at Newcastle. The full-back will be assessed later in the week. | Getty Images
5. OUT: Kaoru Mitoma
The Japan international appeared to suffer a hamstring injury early in the second-half against Wolves last weekend. Anything muscular would see him miss out on Sunday but scans are yet to confirm anything. | Getty Images

6. OUT: Ilia Gruev
The Bulgarian's season was cut short just before last month's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth due to a meniscus injury. Daniel Farke said at the time it will be a pre-season return for his defensive midfielder | Getty Images
