Leeds United were without seven first-teamers on Saturday as they took on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road.
Fortunately for the Whites, only Stuart Dallas is expected to be out for longer than a few more weeks. Liam Cooper, Adam Forshaw, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo and Luis Sinisterra are all very much on the comeback trail and could return before the end of the month, while Dan James is now eligible for action this weekend after completing his Premier League suspension.
All seven of the above names would probably have been involved in some capacity against Wolves if they were available and in their absence Jesse Marsch was forced to name a very young nine-man bench. Mateusz Klich, who changed the game when he stepped onto the field in the second half, was the only player over the age of 21, while Darko Gyabi and Archie Gray have never featured for the first-team in a competitive fixture.
