Leeds United will be sweating on the fitness of Max Wober for their Premier League clash with Liverpool at Elland Road on Monday night.
The Whites are getting closer to having a fully fit squad to choose from with only a handful of players still carrying fitness concerns. Adam Forshaw's inclusion in the matchday squad for the game against Crystal Palace saw him become the latest player to return from a spell in the treatment room ahead of the run-in.
Javi Gracia will know that he'll need to use the entirety of his squad in their battle against relegation, but will secretly be desperate for Wober to be back and among the first-team more than most. He and Tyler Adams are the two major blows that Leeds are contending with ahead of Liverpool's visit to West Yorkshire.

With that in mind, LeedsLive has rounded up all of the Whites' latest injuries and suspensions following the 5-1 defeat to Crystal Palace over the weekend.
Max Wober - thigh
Gracia has been unwilling to set an exact timeframe on the defender's absence, although Leeds are hopeful he won't be out of action for the long-term future. But given the Spaniard's update at the end of last month, there is reason for cautious optimism that Wober might be available for selection in some capacity against Liverpool.
What Gracia said (March 30): "I'm sorry but I cannot clarify because I don't know. What I know is they're [Gnonto and Wober] out for this game [against Arsenal]. I think it will be more time, one week more, two weeks, it depends on their evolution."
Tyler Adams - thigh
Adams underwent surgery on a thigh injury after the international break. The midfielder is expected to be out for a lengthy period, although Gracia has not ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
The American international missed the 4-2 win over Wolves before the international break, and withdrew from the USA squad last month. He has since missed Leeds' last three games against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace respectively.
Stuart Dallas - leg
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'.
Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill hinted that Dallas has an 'outside chance' of starring for his country during the summer, although Leeds are approaching his situation cautiously.
What Dallas said (March 30): "Look I’d love to be back tomorrow morning but I can’t be so, listen, we can’t say when for sure I’ll be back but I’m aiming towards obviously the back end of the season and the summer, and then we’ll take it from there.
"It’s been a long and frustrating period but I feel like I am finally getting there."
What Gracia said (March 16): "Working to recover [his] best condition, but working out of the team, so I can't tell you more info. Of course, I want them to be ready ASAP, but in this case, I'm not sure the time [he] needs to be back with the team."
