Brentford injury latest ahead of Leeds United's survival battle

Leeds United face a final day battle for Premier League survival on Sunday. The Whites have a difficult away fixture with Brentford, which they must take at least a point from in order to stand any chance of remaining in the top flight.

Should Leeds draw, and Burnley lose at home to Newcastle, they will stay up but if Burnley take a point in their game, the Whites must win. Meanwhile, if Burnley manage to win, there is nothing Leeds can do, due to a vastly inferior goal-difference.

Jesse Marsch 's side are aware of the difficulty of the task ahead of them and it has been made more difficult for Marsch through lacking several key players, not just for this fixture but for many recent games. One of those who has missed the vast majority of the season is Patrick Bamford but Leeds hope to have him involved in some form, should they need a goal.

In Brentford's case, Thomas Frank has the majority of his squad to choose from but there are some absences. Here is the latest Brentford injury news:

Ethan Pinnock

The centre back has played the majority of Brentford's Premier League fixtures but he has been absent since picking up a hamstring injury in their victory over Watford last month. Frank stated that it was unnecessary to 'rush' Pinnock back to face Leeds.

Mathias Jorgensen

Danish defender, Jorgensen - also known as Zanka - has been missing since the 2-0 victory over West Ham in April. Frank told the press that he is 'out for the season' due to an abductor injury.

Saman Ghoddos

Another who is certain to miss the Leeds game is Iranian midfielder, Ghoddos. He remains in a protective boot after a foot injury. He will not be a big miss though, since he has featured in only 16% of Brentford's available league minutes.

Frank Onyeka

Onyeka faces a late fitness test to discover if he will be cleared to face the Whites. Brentford's manager said 'he has a chance', to feature in the game.
