Leeds United's relegation rivals all facing injury issues with Everton set for Calvert-Lewin decision

Leeds United travel to face West Ham United for the penultimate weekend of the season which could prove decisive in the Premier League's battle for survival. The Whites will kick off at the London Stadium already knowing the results of relegation rivals Everton and Nottingham Forest, and knowing defeat in the capital could condemn them to a return to the Championship.

Sam Allardyce has provided an injury update from Thorp Arch, with Marc Roca a new absentee to emerge ahead of the clash with the Hammers. Here is a look at the latest injury news from Everton, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest ahead of a crucial weekend of action.

Everton

The Toffees face an away trip to Wolves on Saturday afternoon, and Sean Dyche has confirmed he is 'hopeful' Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be available. The England international was withdrawn at half-time of the home defeat to Manchester City last time out.

However, Vitaliy Mykolenko has not trained and is not expected to feature at Molineux. The full-back joins Seamus Coleman, Tom Davies, Ben Godfrey, Andros Townsend, and Ruben Vinagre on the sidelines. Conor Coady is ineligible to feature against his parent club.

Leicester City

The Foxes travel to face Newcastle United on Monday night, knowing anything less than a victory could seal their relegation with a match to spare. Dean Smith's side could receive a double boost on the injury front, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Kelechi Iheanacho both in line to return to the squad.

Caglar Soyuncu will not be available due to a thigh injury, with the final-day encounter with West Ham a target for his return. Ryan Bertrand, James Justin, Jaanik Vestegaard, and Danny Ward remain long-term absentees.

Nottingham Forest

Steve Cooper's side host Arsenal on Saturday evening, with a victory not only all but guaranteeing their top-flight status but also confirming Manchester City as champions once again. Emmanuel Dennis could be in line for a return, having missed the last two matches with a knock.

Gustavo Scarpa is not expected to feature against the Gunners having suffered a minor setback with his calf injury. Forest also remain without Neco Williams, Scott McKenna, Jack Colback, Chris Wood, Dean Henderson, Omar Richards and Giulian Biancone.
