Leeds United are preparing to travel down to face Cardiff City in the F.A Cup third round on Sunday but they will be a few players short on the team bus.
Manager Jesse Marsch won't have his full Whites squad at this disposal due to at least four absentees but will have enough to put out a full strength starting XI if he wanted to.
Here's the full injury list and who won't be travelling with Leeds as they face Cardiff in the F.A Cup third round at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Patrick Bamford - groin
It's been no secret Bamford has had a tough season with injuries so far, but after his groin surgery he had before their winter break training camp, Marsch believes he'll
What Marsch said (Jan 6): “Patrick was in training today. So that was a big step in the right direction. Not predicting him to be ready for the match, but at least in training."
Potential return date: Within two weeks
Adam Forshaw - groin
Forshaw has had a long history with injuries which have always kept him out of getting consistent minutes during his time at Elland Road. After being absent from the West Ham match in midweek, Marsch
What Marsch said (Jan 6): "Adam would probably not be available for this match, but shouldn't be training next week."
Potential return date: Next week
Luis Sinisterra - foot
Sinisterra has been missing for 10 weeks with his Lisfranc injury, and has recovered well over that period, with him being on the cusp of rejoining the squad.
What Marsch said (Jan 6th): “He was on the pitch individually today looking really strong sprinting and running and looking close. Let's see, I don't want to talk too early, but we're hopeful that at some point next week, he's back in training. So that's really positive. He won’t be ready this weekend.”
Potential return date: Next week
Stuart Dallas - leg
Dallas continues his recovery from a fractured femur that he suffered in April last year. He was, however, forced to undergo a second surgery to 'clean some things up' with an apparent thigh issue before Christmas.
What Marsch said (Jan 6th):“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
