Leeds United injury list in full as Whites arrive in Spain with fresh concerns

Leeds United are currently in Spain as preparations ramp up towards a return to Premier League action later this month. The Whites are set to face Elche on Thursday in what will be their first match since the 4-3 defeat at Tottenham before the break.

Upon their arrival today, Leeds provided an update on the state of their squad with four players currently absent from the travelling party. So, with that in mind, here is an in-depth look at how Jesse Marsch's injury list is looking.

Patrick Bamford - groin

Bamford missed the last two matches before the World Cup break with a hip injury but it is a separate issue that has not seen him travel to Spain. He is set to undergo groin surgery, but it is not going to be an issue that rules him out long term.

What the club have said (Dec 4): "Patrick Bamford is currently in Munich having minor surgery on a groin injury. He’s expected to return to action and be available within two weeks."

Potential return date: 21/12/22

Junior Firpo - groin

Like Bamford, Firpo is also yet to travel to Spain due to a minor groin injury that he sustained in training. He is set to link up with the squad later this week, though it is unclear whether that will be in time for the Elche match.

What the club have said (Dec 4): " Junior Firpo has remained at Thorp Arch having picked up a groin strain, but he will join up with the squad later in the week."

Potential return date: 08/12/22

Illan Meslier/Kristoffer Klaesson- ill

Neither Meslier nor Klaesson will be making the trip to Spain as a result of picking up a virus. No timeframe has been put on when they will return.

What the club have said (Dec 4): " Illan Meslier and Kristoffer Klaesson haven’t travelled to Spain either, with both of them currently out of action due to having viral illnesses."

Potential return date: Unknown

Luis Sinisterra - foot

Sinisterra missed the last three games before the break due to a foot injury, though no update was ever provided on the severity. He was pictured on social media in a protective boot but is in Spain doing rehabilitation work.

What was said before the break (Nov 3): "We believe it's (Lisfranc) partially torn, which puts him in a bit of a grey area, but he's probably out until after the World Cup break."

Potential return date: Unknown

Stuart Dallas - leg

Like Sinisterra, Dallas is also with the squad completing rehab work as he continues his recovery from a fractured femur. All eyes will be on a return to action after the turn of the new year.

What was said before the break (Nov 11): "Stuart's making great progress as well, and we'll see how that goes, but maybe we get him on the pitch at some point towards the end of December, early January."

Potential return date: Unknown

Suspensions

Tyler Adams

The USA skipper's red card at Tottenham in Leeds' final match before the break means he faces a one-match ban and will therefore miss the visit of Manchester City.
