Final team news has been provided for Leeds United’s Wednesday night trip to Newcastle United - for which five players are now back including a Whites pair but nine others are either doubtful or out.
Unlike for Sunday’s hosting of Manchester United, both teams have similar turnarounds for the Wednesday night 8.15pm kick-off having both played on Sunday.
Daniel Farke’s Whites extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a 1-1 draw against the Red Devils at Elland Road whilst Eddie Howe’s Magpies made it two wins on the bounce with a 2-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace.
Leeds and Newcastle both had key men missing for those games yet both also had big players either back in the mix or back available for the midweek clash at St James’ Park.
There are, though, now nine players either out or doubtful after fresh blows.
Following Farke and Howe’s pre-match press conferences, here is the final injury news encompassing both sides.

1. BACK: Sean Longstaff
Whites midfielder Longstaff returned earlier than expected from his calf injury to make the bench for Sunday’s clash against Manchester United at Elland Road. The midfielder was an unused substitute and named amongst the substitutes mainly due to the other absentees and for his experience in the dressing room. Farke, though, has said there is now a chance that Longstaff could get some minutes against his former club, not as a starter but from the bench. A big boost. | Getty Images

2. BACK: Ethan Ampadu
Another huge Leeds boost, club captain Ampadu now back available from suspension having served a one-match ban on Sunday for amassing five yellow cards before the cut off point. | Getty Images
3. BACK: Tino Livramento
Magpies full-back Livramento made his return from a three-match absence with a knee injury as a second-half substitute in Sunday's win against Palace. | Getty Images
4. BACK: Kieran Trippier
Newcastle's experienced England-capped full-back Trippier has been out since November with a thigh injury but returned to the bench for Sunday's win against Palace. Back fit and available for selection. | Getty Images
5. BACK: Sven Botman
Newcastle's commanding Dutch centre-half Botman has also been since November - in his case with a hamstring injury - but he too returned to the bench for the first time against Palace. Like Trippier, the 25-year-old was an unused sub but he too is now fit and available for selection. | Getty Images

6. OUT: Anthony Elanga
A fresh blow of sorts for Newcastle as it was thought that £55m pacy winger summer signing Elanga was close to returning from a knee injury. Boss Howe, though, said at Tuesday's pre-match press conference that his return was taking a bit longer than expected and that Elanga was not quite ready yet. | Getty Images
