Javi Gracia says some Leeds United players are touch and go to face Leicester City tomorrow night. The Whites are currently without Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams who have long-term injuries, but the Spanish coach gave little away in terms of those who could also miss the must win clash against the Foxes.
Their opponents at Elland Road tomorrow night are expected to welcome back James Maddison and Harvey Barnes into the matchday squad, with the latter boasting an impressive record against the Whites, scoring in each of his last five games. Jamie Vardy is also expected to be involved despite picking up a knock in the Foxes' win over Wolves last time out.
Max Wober and Liam Cooper were two key players who returned to the starting line-up in the defeat to Fulham. The latter of the two has struggled to break into Gracia's starting XI while Wober has just returned form injury.

Given the quick turnaround, the Leeds United boss was asked if the duo would be fit to play on Tuesday night. Gracia told reporters: "For the next game we have some players, who in this moment, I'm not sure if they'll be able to play."
When asked about Adam Forshaw being fit enough to start, the Whites boss said: "He played last game, then he's available. After, we have to know if a player is coming from a long-term injury to be in his best condition, he needs time.
"In this moment we don't have time. We have to take the best of our players in the condition they are."
