Leeds United are now heading for a massive bottom-of-the-table clash at Nottingham Forest - for which four men are out and three more doubtful.
Just five points separate the two sides after contrasting fortunes at the weekend, Leeds falling to an extremely disappointing 3-0 defeat at Brighton.
Forest, meanwhile, picked up their first point under new boss Sean Dyche through a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United which took them a point closer to fifth-bottom Leeds.
Sunday afternoon’s huge clash at The City Ground now represents a true six-pointer in the lower reaches of the division, providing Leeds with the chance to kick eight points clear of Forest but Forest with the opportunity to get within just two points.
There are, though, four men out of Sunday’s contest for which three more are doubts but with a star now back.
Here, we run through the early injury news from both sides.

1. DOUBT: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
A fresh doubt and a big one, Farke revealing at Friday’s pre-Forest press conference that Calvert-Lewin faced a race against time to feature this weekend due to an adductor injury. Farke said that Calvert-Lewin was “doing his rehab, progressing well but is not in team training yet” as he added that Leeds still had a couple more days but wouldn’t take any risks. Around half an hour after the press conference had finished, Calvert-Lewin took to social media platforms X and Instagram to post four photographs of himself training - two with teammates in the background - together with a running emoji. | AFP via Getty Images

2. DOUBT: Sebastiaan Bornauw
Another fresh doubt, Farke revealing at Friday's press conference that there was a slight question mark over Belgian defender Bornauw following a hit on his MCL this week. | AFP via Getty Images
3. DOUBT: Callum Hudson-Odoi
A fresh Forest blow, England-capped winger Hudson-Odoi sustaining an injury in the closing stages of Saturday's draw against Manchester United and taken off in the 90th minute. Hudson-Odoi was then ruled out of the midweek Europa League clash in Austria and Dyche said at his pre-Leeds press conference that it was "improbable" that Hudson-Odoi would be back this weekend. | Getty Images

4. DOUBT: Chris Wood
Another big one for Forest, especially against his former side. Reds striker Wood has missed his side's last three games with a knee injury and Dyche also put the forward in the "improbable" category to face Leeds at his pre-match press conference. | Getty Images

5. OUT: Douglas Luiz
Another fresh blow for Forest and a big one with Brazilian international midfielder Luiz essentially now ruled out. Luiz was forced off in just the 14th minute of Saturday's draw against Manchester United with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Speaking ahead of Thursday evening's Europa League clash at Sturm Graz, Dyche said: "Douglas Luiz is going to receive treatment. That is not likely to be a quick situation; we are waiting on more news." | AFP via Getty Images
6. OUT: Angus Gunn
Forest's Scotland international keeper Gunn has failed to make the last seven matchday squads and Dyche said last week that the 29-year-old has opened up his knee ligaments. | Getty Images
