Javi Gracia will still be without a number of first-team players for Leeds United's FA Cup clash with Fulham on Tuesday night, as Luis Sinisterra, Pascal Struijk and Liam Cooper are still doubts for the fifth round tie.
Gracia will be looking to follow up Saturday afternoon's victory over Southampton with a repeat performance against the Cottagers. A trip to the capital awaits the Whites, with victory seeing them progress to the quarter-finals of the competition - just one win away from a Wembley clash.
Although those dreams will be put to one side for now, there was some good news on the injury front for Leeds ahead of the game as both Marc Roca and Max Wober recovered in time to feature in the win over Southampton. However, there are still a fair few members of the squad occupying spots on the treatment tables.

With that in mind, we have looked at the squad's current injury list ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Luis Sinisterra
Sinisterra came off in the first-half of the 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford and the Colombian was absent from the squad for the 1-0 win over Southampton.
What Skubala said (February 16): "He [Sinisterra] had a pulled muscle. He is on his way back, a bit further away than Liam [Cooper] and Marc [Roca], but he is progressing nicely."
Potential return date: March 4 vs Chelsea
Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk
Struijk was also forced off shortly after Sinisterra at Old Trafford as the defender took a fierce Marcus Rashford shot to the face, suffering a concussion in the process.
And Cooper, who was an unused substitute for the game against Everton, was absent alongside Struijk for the win against the Saints.
What Gracia said (February 25) : "They are injured, they have problems. I don't know how long [they] will be out but they are not training with the team."
Potential return date: March 4 vs Chelsea
Rodrigo
Rodrigo picked up a knock late into Leeds United's FA Cup win at Accrington Stanley. With scans showing bone and ligament damage at the joint, Rodrigo has undergone minor surgery to rectify the issue.
What Rodrigo said (February 22): “I expect to be back before the international break. When I got the injury, they said probably I will be back just after the international break, but things are progressing better than we always expected.
“I hope I can be available for the games before the international break, but let's see. We can’t confirm because it depends on my progression from now to the next two or three weeks, but if I keep this progression, I think I will be available before [the break].
Potential return date: April 1 vs Arsenal
Sonny Perkins
Perkins also picked up an injury during the win over Accrington Stanley and there has been no further word on his expected recovery time.
What Skubala said (February 16): "We've got Sonny Perkins back on the pitch, which is nice to see. So yeah, we're slowly getting some strength back in the squad which is really pleasing."
Potential return date: March 4 vs Chelsea
Adam Forshaw
After his run of consistent first-team appearances over the winter break, Forshaw suffered a hip problem that has seen him out for the start of the year and will be on the sidelines for a little while longer.
What Marsch said (Jan 20): “It was more of a procedure. He had an injection to help fortify things. He's had a lot of visits to the doctor to figure out why this keeps happening and one of the things is just strengthening the area.
"And so it's about making sure we're not putting him in a situation where it's not cyclical and he's battling all the time to get out on the pitch. It's about making sure getting him to a strong place to get him back to his best."
Potential return date: Unknown
Stuart Dallas
Dallas went to Spain to complete rehab work as he continues his recovery from a fractured femur he suffered against Manchester City in April last year. He was, however, forced to undergo a second surgery to 'clean some things up'.
What Marsch said (Jan 22): " 'Stuart had a follow-up operation, too, because they thought they had a little bit of an infection, so they just cleaned that out, but he's back and feeling good.'
Potential return date: Unknown
