Leeds are currently facing a mini-injury crisis ahead of their Premier League meeting with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Whites will be aiming to secure a league double over the Blues, although both clubs now have different managers at the helm with Graham Potter replacing Thomas Tuchel and Javi Gracia succeeding Jesse Marsch.
Since his appointment on February 21, Gracia has overseen two Leeds games against Southampton and Fulham. His first game in charge was a victory over the Saints in a massive relegation six-pointer, but earlier this week his team were knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham.
Many of the important first-team stars from last season are currently absent from the squad on a long-term basis, with Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo still recovering from injury. Dallas has not featured in a Leeds shirt since last April when he fractured his femur against Manchester City, while Rodrigo suffered ankle ligament damage which looks set to keep him out until early April, although the player himself expects to be "back before the international break."
