Leeds United midfield factor they're missing in Tyler Adams' absence ahead of Premier League run in

Leeds United were dealt a major blow when Tyler Adams was ruled out of the Whites' preparations for Wolves last month and the American is set for an extended spell on the sidelines. Nonetheless, Javi Gracia's side picked up a vital three points in that clash and had taken six points from a possible 9 available following the defeat at Arsenal, with Adams' absence not particularly hard felt.

It's a respectable return, but last weekend's thrashing against Crystal Palace saw Leeds come crashing back down to earth. The Whites had dominated the first-half but were level at the break with Roy Hodgson's side scoring on the bring of half-time.

Leeds' soft underbelly was exposed in a second-half collapse. It's always difficult to digest a result and scoreline like last weekend, but it's fair to suggest Adams would have made that scoreline less emphatic.
