Fresh injury news has been provided for Leeds United’s massive visit of Wolves - for which just two men are now definitely out as key men return but with five others doubts.
Leeds were looking at a big list of players either out or doubtful ahead of Monday night’s clash against fierce rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford but that didn’t stop Daniel Farke’s men from recording a brilliant 2-1 success for a first league win at the ground for 45 years.
Wolves, meanwhile, had been in action on the Friday night as they took on United’s key relegation rivals West Ham at the London Stadium, Rob Edwards’ side arriving on a good run of recent form despite their position at the bottom of the table.
Wolves, though, suffered their joint heaviest defeat of the season as the Irons eventually recorded a 4-0 victory ahead of which Wolves also had injuries.
Wolves boss Edwards will hold his pre-match press conference on Friday but Farke held his on Thursday, at which interesting team news was provided and here we run through the injury news from both camps as things stand.
7. OUT: Enso González
Wolves' young Paraguayan winger González has not featured for the first team all season and not played at all since getting a run of games for the under-21s which came to an end in February as he then suffered a meniscus injury which required surgery and was thought to leave him looking at two months out. | Wolves via Getty Images
8. DOUBT: Matt Doherty
Experienced Wolves full-back Doherty missed the club's clash at West Ham last Friday night although Rob Edwards was optimistic that the 34-year-old Republic of Ireland international would be back to face Leeds. Speaking on Friday, Edwards said the defender was pushing to be involved and that a late call would be made. | Wolves via Getty Images
9. DOUBT: Joe Rodon
Whites centre-back star Rodon is one of three key Leeds players that can now be placed back in the 'doubt' category as opposed to definitely out after Farke's update at Thursday's pre-match press conference. Rodon suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup quarter-final victory at West Ham, after which Farke admitted a May return was most likely but it was interesting that the Whites boss did not completely rule any of his injured trio out. | Getty Images

10. DOUBT: Anton Stach
Leeds midfield ace Stach is in a similar boat to Rodon having also suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup quarter-final win at West Ham and in his case ligament damage that was thought likely to keep the German out until May. He too, though, was not totally ruled out by Farke at Thursday's presser, albeit it would be a huge surprise in bis case especially if he was back. | Getty Images

11. DOUBT: Dan James
Speedy winger James is the third Leeds player that can be moved from the out to doubt category, the Wales international star on the comeback trail from an adductor injury that he suffered in the session before the FA Cup clash at West Ham. Speaking on Thursday, Farke said: "With Joe, Dan and Anton, the first step is that they would be back in team training. If they have a bit of team training they're available for the games. We have two days before the game but no one is back in team training yet. Sometimes there could be a negative surprise, sometimes a positive surprise. We assess them day by day but none are back in team training yet. All the others are available." | Getty Images
