Leeds United's winter training camp in Spain has not been without its problems with the club nursing several injury issues. Even after the absence of Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen due to the World Cup, Leeds were without eight players in the win over Elche and lost a further two during the 90 minutes.
The Whites make their return to Premier League action in just under three weeks' time, when they host Manchester City on December 28. While that does give them plenty of time to get some bodies back, a number of players will be touch and go, including Illan Meslier, who Jesse Marsch revealed after the game is suffering with glandular fever.
If he does not recover in time, that could hand Joel Robles the opportunity to make his Premier League debut for the club. In defence, Kristensen, Junior Firpo and Robin Koch look set to be back in full training next week, but Diego Llorente still requires two more weeks of rehab after hand surgery before his return.
