The German has commended the signing of Kamara, who joined prior to the 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at the beginning of September, as a shrewd move given the minutes already played this season by Gray and central midfield partner Ethan Ampadu.
Gray withdrew from England’s Under-19 squad due to a ‘slight fitness concern’ and has spent the past two weeks recuperating before returning to Thorp Arch after a brief period of time off, along with the rest of the squad.
Farke will also be forced to decide between his wide options at The Den as Daniel James is in contention to return, while Jaidon Anthony signed on deadline day. Young striker Mateo Joseph returned to training following an ankle injury over the international break and could be included in the travelling squad, too.
Here is the YEP’s predicted XI versus Millwall.

9. Crysencio Summerville: RW
Summerville looks to be Leeds' most potent attacking threat at present, given the injury situation, but with the possible return of Dan James, he will need to turn threat into substance. (Pic: Jonathan Gawthorpe) Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
10. Joel Piroe: CF/AM
Piroe's performance against Wednesday wasn't his finest or most influential, but his exploits away to Ipswich the previous weekend should have done enough to convince Farke there is talent there worth persevering with, even if that is at No. 10/in the centre-forward role behind a main striker.

11. Georginio Rutter: ST
Rutter's hunt for goals in a Leeds shirt goes on, even after breaking his duck against Ipswich. The young French forward should still be ahead of Mateo Joseph in the pecking order, while Patrick Bamford's availability is not guaranteed. (Pic: Jonathan Gawthorpe) Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
