Jesse March provides Leeds United injury details ahead of Brentford clash

Jesse Marsch has given an update on the fitness of several Leeds United players ahead of his side's clash with Brentford on Sunday afternoon. Earlier this week, the Whites dominated Cardiff City in a 5-2 win in their F.A Cup third round replay but saw new signing Max Wober go off injured.

The Austrian lasted just 57 minutes before a collision with a Bluebirds player meant he was replaced by Luke Ayling and joined captain Liam Cooper and centre-back partner Robin Koch as defenders who are suffering minor injuries ahead of this weekend. Long-term injury holders Stuart Dallas and Archie Gray have made progress, while Crysencio Summerville has been missing since the first Cardiff tie with an ankle injury.

Having been out since October, Luis Sinisterra finally returned to Elland Road football on Tuesday night as well, and is someone that Marsch is delighted to have back as an option in his new-and-improved attacking core after Georginio Rutter was announced as the side's second signing of the transfer window last week.

"Ok, I'll start with the injury report. Stuart [Dallas], Archie [Gray] and Cree [Crysencio Summerville]. Archie has made good progress, he was out on the pitch today and Cree is probably on the pitch next week as well.

"Georgi [Rutter] has looked good in training so I think he'll be in the squad now that we've got a little numbers situation so we'll have to see where we're at with different things but I think he'll be ready.

"But we're inching to being at full capacity. Oh, sorry, I didn't mention Adam [Forshaw]. That's another one [missing], but Max will be ready - he trained today."
