Sean Longstaff - Aims return in January Longstaff (calf) remains out for Sunday's clash against Sunderland and aims a return in January, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "No, no chance for Sean."

Impact Longstaff is still a bit far from making his return from a calf injury that has sidelined him for the last five games. The midfielder has resumed individual training and will be looking for a return in January. Until then, Ao Tanaka is expected to take on a larger role in the heart of the game for Leeds United.

Lukas Nmecha - Could be available Sunday Nmecha (hamstring) has a small chance to be back available for Sunday's clash against Sunderland, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "It is a small chance for Lukas t...

Impact Nmecha missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury that he could clear ahead of Sunday's clash against the Black Cats, as he has a chance to be part of the travelling squad. This would be great news for Leeds United, since the striker started four of his last four appearances prior to his injury, scoring three goals. Nmecha will likely resume a starting role once fully fit.

Lukas Nmecha - Still remains sidelined Nmecha (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Lukas also out for next game."

Impact Nmehca has missed two games with his hamstring injury and is sidelined for yet another game, with the forward out to face Palace. He will likely eye a return before the new year and in their next match, potentially an option to face Sunderland on Dec. 28. The forward scored in three of his four games before the injury and will hope to return to the playing field with similar form once fit.

Sean Longstaff - Out a few more weeks Longstaff (calf) is beginning to train individually, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Sean is progressing and doing individual training."

Impact Longstaff is working his way back from injury and earning a first major update since then, as the midfielder has trained individually. This likely leaves the midfielder on track for his return, looking to be an option in the last week of the year. This continues to be a major loss for the club, as he was a regular starter, so they will hope for his return by the end of the new year, likely to immediately be placed in the starting XI once fit.

Daniel James - Doesn't need surgery James won't get surgery on his hamstring injury but will still be out eight weeks, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Dan, no surgery, it'll still be 8 weeks total he'll be out."

Impact It's a somewhat positive update on James, though it doesn't mean he's completely out of the woods from any setbacks. Hamstring injuries take time and he'll likely need all of the eight weeks before he's ready again, pointing to a possible February return. Given the severity, he'll likely need at least a week of full training before he can be considered again.

The winger has started four matches this season, and this was his fourth game as a substitute this year. This is the first time this season that he has created two chances, and he will aim to emulate his 2022/23 season in the Premier League, where he produced four assists.
