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.
7. SLIGHT DOUBT: Anton Stach
Stach bagged his first minutes for Germany since the summer of 2022 during the international break but Farke revealed at Thursday's pre-match press conference that the midfielder returned with a hip issue that led to him initially missing training. Stach, though, then resumed training, Farke expecting him to be fine although that still leaves an element of doubt and whether playing him is seen as a risk is another matter. Farke said on Thursday: "Anton Stach was yesterday struggling with some hip problems, was yesterday not in training, although he returned then a bit earlier because Germany played already on Monday. But today back in training so shouldn't be a problem I think." | Getty Images
8. DOUBT: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The big news on the Leeds injury front. Farke revealing at Thursday's pre-match press conference that Calvert-Lewin felt problems with is hamstring towards the end of training on Wednesday and again the next day as he then missed training. The striker was also sent for a scan as a precaution. Farke said: "Hopefully just a minor minor problem. Yesterday at some point during the training he felt a little little problem with his hamstring and didn't want to risk anything and for that we sent him in. Also today we've decided to scan him, just precautious. I hope that he is back in team training tomorrow but we have to assess him. And for that I can't really tell you right now if he is available for Sunday." | AFP via Getty Images
9. OUT: Lukasz Fabianski
Experienced Hammers keeper Fabianski has not featured since his run-out for the club's under-21s in September due to a back injury. There had been suggestions that the 40-year-old Pole would return in February, the keeper then telling Polish media last month that he was training at 80-90 percent but still needed to strengthen his quadriceps on his right leg. | Getty Images
