Leeds United will return to action after the March international break with Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final at West Ham - ahead of which one player is out and three others doubtful.
The Whites and Hammers have emerged as huge rivals in the battle for Premier League survival, West Ham sat third-bottom and four points adrift of Leeds in 15th place with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest sandwiched in between.
But the Whites and Irons will also face off for a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday in a 4.30pm kick-off at the London Stadium, ahead of which some key men are either doubtful or out.
Both teams have had a host of players on international duty in the current break which itself has led to fresh blows, all leading to one being out and three others doubtful but four back.
Here, we run through the early injury and team news from both camps.
1. BACK: Gabi Gudmundsson
Starting with the positives and a huge one on the Leeds front with star left back Gudmundsson now back from suspension and also shacking off a knock to his knee in last Thursday's World Cup qualifier victory against Ukraine in which he was taken off with 13 minutes left. The defender said post-match that it was just a case of looking after his body and Gudmundsson then played the full duration of Tuesday's massive play-off final victory against Poland as he and his country booked their place at the World Cup. | Getty Images
2. BACK: Oliver Scarles
West Ham's England youth international full-back Scarles fractured his collarbone in October's 2-1 defeat at Elland Road. Scarles was back in action by December but then suffered a knock in the FA Cup fifth round clash against Brentford which saw him miss the subsequent Premier League clash against Manchester City. Scarles, though, returned for the game at Aston Villa before the international break for which he was an unused substitute. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire

3. DOUBT: Jean-Clair Todibo
Hammers centre-back Todibo suffered a calf injury in the warm-up ahead of the Premier League clash at Aston Villa before the international break and consequently missed out. The only real update provided by boss Nuno Espirito Santo at Friday's pre-match press conference was that his injured players were being assessed. | AFP via Getty Images
4. DOUBT: Crysencio Summerville
A huge one either way, not just for Sunday's contest but also in the battle for Premier League survival and it remains a wait and see. West Ham's former Whites star Summerville suffered a calf injury in the fifth round victory against Brentford and missed both West Ham's next two games and March's internationals for the Netherlands. There were then reports that Summerville would be back after the international break and there still appears a chance of that. Speaking on Friday, Santo said of Summerville: “Trying, all of us trying to get him as soon as possible, assessing day by day, see how he improves.” Pressed on whether it would be too much of a risk to play him on Sunday, Santo reasoned: “First we have to assess, if it’s good, if he feels good, we are not in that point yet so still one day to go and then we take decisions.” | Getty Images
5. DOUBT: Konstantinos Mavropanos
A new blow for the Irons during the international break and a highly significant one given the excellent form of Greek international centre-back Mavropanos. The 28-year-old suffered a head injury in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Paraguay in which he has then taken off with seven minutes left. Reports in the Greek media claim that Mavropanos will now play no part in Tuesday's game against Hungary in Budapest. Clear doubts then as to whether he will be available to face Leeds given the injury and concussion protocols. | Getty Images

6. SLIGHT DOUBT: Noah Okafor
A hard one to weigh up, Whites winger Okafor returning from his five-game absence due to a hamstring injury as a second-half substitute in the goalless draw at home to Brentford before the international break. The winger then departed on international duty after getting a Switzerland recall although Okafor did not feature and there were reports of him suffering a minor issue in training. But there was no mention of any injury to Okafor from Farke at his pre-match presser, other than reports of a few minor issues and little knocks for the squad generally which, as Farke said himself, is par for the course. Okafor himself said on social media: "Of course, I would have liked to play too, but so soon after my injury, we decided together not to take any risks." A slight doubt then. | Getty Images
