Sam Allardyce has revealed Marc Roca is a potential injury doubt as Leeds United prepare to face West Ham in the penultimate match of the season. The Whites know that defeat at the London Stadium combined with results elsewhere could confirm their relegation with a match to spare.
Tyler Adams, Stuart Dallas, and Luis Sinisterra all remain long-term absentees, and Allardyce has confirmed Liam Cooper is back in training ahead of a possible return to action. However, summer signing Roca may not be available for selection due to a knee injury.
Allardyce told his pre-match press conference: "There's only Dallas, Adams, Sinisterra, Cooper is back in training and Roca has got a patella tendon issue as well. Not too bad on the injury front."

Allardyce also faces a selection headache following Junior Firpo's red card in the home draw with Newcastle United last time out. The left-back will serve a one-match ban, and Leeds' interim boss admits he will consider a change in system to face the Hammers.
The Whites' boss added: "We've been talking about that in terms of who do we fit into that position, or do we perhaps change the system to a different way of playing? We've got to look at what West Ham did last night and last week at Brentford.
"We've got to look at what players we've got available to suit our team that's available and or compete against West Ham."
