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.

8. OUT: Facundo Buonanotte
The Argentinian missed a rare chance to make the matchday squad at Tottenham due to a hamstring issue. Regardless of whether that eases in time, Buonanotte is ineligible to play against loan club Brighton, as per Premier League rules. | Getty Images
9. DOUBT: Gabriel Gudmundsson
The Swede has sat out Leeds' last two games with a hamstring injury picked up in the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea. The initial plan was to reassess after those matches, albeit he is unlikely to be rushed back given safety is secured and he's got a World Cup to look forward to. | Michael Steele/Getty Images
10. DOUBT: Jayden Bogle
The right-back was a surprise squad absence on Monday, due to what we now know was a hamstring issue. Farke is likely to provide more information in his pre-Brighton press conference later this week. | Getty Images
11. DOUBT: Pascal Struijk
The defender went into Tottenham carrying a hip issue and it showed a little. Was eventually forced off after receiving treatment around the hip area, with Farke expected to provide an update later this week. | Getty Images
