Daniel James - Facing late fitness assessment James (back) returned to training Thursday after being sidelined for around 10 days, but his availability for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester United remains uncert...

Impact James missed Leeds' previous match against Arsenal due to a back injury but has now taken an encouraging step toward returning to action. The winger has only recently resumed training, and his ability to handle increased intensity will be important in determining whether he can feature Sunday. James has played a limited role this season, recording just 52 minutes across three Premier League appearances, all as a substitute, meaning his potential absence would have little impact on Leeds' usual starting lineup.

Jean Matteo Bahoya - Makes brief return from injury Bahoya recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.

Impact Bahoya made his return from an ankle injury sustained during international duty with France U21, entering for the final four minutes of regulation against Arsenal. The winger had little opportunity to influence the contest, finishing without a notable attacking contribution. He has now played just five minutes across two Premier League appearances this season, reflecting his limited involvement since joining Leeds United. His return to the matchday squad represents a positive step toward full fitness, although he remains a peripheral option in manager Daniel Farke's attacking rotation.

Lukas Nmecha - Limited impact off bench Nmecha recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Nmecha entered for the closing stages as Leeds searched for an equalizer but struggled to influence the match beyond a strong piece of hold-up play. He has accumulated just 75 minutes across five Premier League appearances this season, highlighting his limited involvement in manager Daniel Farke's attacking rotation. With Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin currently occupying the main attacking positions, Nmecha remains a backup option whose opportunities have largely been restricted to brief substitute appearances.

Nico Elvedi - Continues regular defensive role Elvedi had one tackle (one won), three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal.

Impact Elvedi played 86 minutes against Arsenal, contributing three clearances, one interception and a successful tackle as Leeds attempted to protect their narrow lead. The defender has become a regular starter in the back three following Joe Rodon's injury, accumulating three tackles, five interceptions and 21 clearances across five Premier League appearances this season. His defensive contributions have helped provide continuity in Rodon's absence, and he remains well positioned to retain his place in the starting lineup while the latter is sidelined.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Endures quiet outing against Arsenal Calvert-Lewin recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Calvert-Lewin played the full 90 minutes but failed to register a shot, narrowly missing Gabriel Gudmundsson's low cross before James Justin converted Leeds' opening goal. The striker has now gone two consecutive Premier League matches without scoring, attempting just one shot during that span. Despite the recent slowdown, he has scored three goals from 11 shots across six league appearances this season, starting every match. His consistent starting role and early-season scoring production remain encouraging, although the lack of recent shooting opportunities represents a concern for his attacking output.

Tarik Muharemovic - Records ten clearances Muharemovic recorded 10 clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 59th minute.

Impact Muharemovic played the full 90 minutes on the left side of Leeds' back three, producing 10 clearances as the visitors absorbed sustained pressure from Arsenal. His defensive interventions helped Leeds frustrate the champions for much of the contest before two second-half goals overturned their lead. The defender has now accumulated one assist, five tackles, 11 interceptions and 47 clearances across six Premier League appearances this season. His substantial clearance total reflects his consistent defensive workload, while his regular presence in the back three underlines his established starting role.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Okafor - Involved in buildup to opener Okafor registered one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Okafor played 71 minutes against Arsenal, registering one off-target shot and two unsuccessful crosses while contributing to Leeds' attacking transitions. He initiated the move leading to James Justin's opening goal with a pass down the left flank for Gabriel Gudmundsson and nearly connected with a Jayden Bogle cross shortly afterward. The forward has started five consecutive Premier League matches, operating either as an attacking midfielder or central striker, and has recorded one goal, six shots, two chances created and 11 crosses across six league appearances. His versatility and regular starting role continue to make him an important attacking option for manager Daniel Farke.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Bogle - Threatens from right flank Bogle recorded one shot (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Bogle provided an attacking presence from right wing-back, registering one shot on target and four crosses, including two accurate deliveries, across 86 minutes. He forced David Raya into a first-half save and later delivered a dangerous cross that narrowly evaded Noah Okafor inside the six-yard box. The defender has recorded one goal, four chances created, nine crosses and five tackles across six Premier League appearances this season. Having started consistently on the right side, Bogle remains a key part of Leeds' attacking structure and an established first-choice option at wing-back.

Ethan Ampadu - Maintains regular starting role Ampadu had one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 38th minute...

Impact Ampadu played the full 90 minutes against Arsenal, contributing two interceptions, three clearances and a shot on target as Leeds remained competitive against the champions. He has played every minute of Leeds' six Premier League matches this season, accumulating seven chances created, 13 tackles, 13 interceptions and 13 clearances. His combination of defensive contributions and occasional involvement in attacking buildup has made him a central figure in coach Daniel Farke's setup, with his uninterrupted playing time highlighting his importance to the team.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ao Tanaka - Makes fourth consecutive start Tanaka recorded one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 36th minute.

Impact Tanaka made his fourth consecutive Premier League start in midfield, playing 71 minutes and recording one shot on target, one interception and a successful tackle. His best moment came early in the second half when a powerful effort forced David Raya to tip the ball over the crossbar. The midfielder has registered one assist, 10 tackles, three interceptions and eight clearances across five league appearances this season. His continued involvement in the starting lineup suggests he has established himself as a regular option in manager Daniel Farke's midfield rotation.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Anton Stach - Active on set pieces in defeat Stach generated two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Stach remained heavily involved in Leeds' midfield, producing two shots, seven crosses and four corner deliveries while winning three tackles. He also made an important defensive intervention following a turnover by Ao Tanaka and nearly connected with a Gabriel Gudmundsson cross in the first half. The midfielder has accumulated one goal, seven chances created, 21 corners, 16 tackles and 11 interceptions across six Premier League appearances this season. His responsibility for set pieces continues to provide additional attacking opportunities alongside his regular midfield duties.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Gudmundsson - Provides assist against Arsenal Gudmundsson assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal.

Impact Gudmundsson delivered one of his most productive performances of the season, supplying the assist for James Justin's opening goal with a dangerous low cross in the 55th minute. The wing-back also registered two shots, including a powerful effort saved by David Raya, alongside six crosses and two chances created. He now has one assist, three chances created, 15 crosses, 10 tackles and five interceptions across four Premier League appearances this season. His attacking involvement against Arsenal strengthened his case for a consistent role on Leeds' left flank.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

James Trafford - Makes four saves in defeat Trafford made four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Arsenal.

Impact Trafford made four saves against the reigning champions, including stops against Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, but was unable to prevent Arsenal's second-half comeback. The goalkeeper has now recorded 24 saves, five goals conceded and two clean sheets across six Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as Leeds' regular starter. He will look to bounce back when Leeds United face Manchester United in their next league fixture.

Impact Justin found the back of the net early in the second half following a low cross from the left flank, and the right-back slotted the ball home into a relatively open goal. This was Justin's first goal of the season, and he's been a regular starter for the Whites all season long, logging the full 90 in all but one of his appearances.

Harry Wilson - Returns to bench Wilson (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Wilson returns to the squad after recovering from a quadriceps injury that forced him to miss the Crystal Palace match and Wales' international fixtures. His return to full team training has paved the way for another substitute role, consistent with his involvement in Leeds' previous three Premier League appearances. He has yet to record a goal contribution this season and will look to make an impact if called upon.

Jean Matteo Bahoya - Finds bench role Bahoya (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Bahoya is available as a substitute after returning to training Thursday following an ankle injury suffered during France U21's win over Luxembourg. The winger has recovered sufficiently to rejoin the matchday squad and could provide an attacking option off the bench. His involvement has been limited since arriving at Leeds, making a substitute appearance consistent with his recent role.

Impact Wilson's return to training is an encouraging development after the quadriceps injury forced him to miss the clash against Crystal Palace and Wales' international fixtures. The midfielder is now back in contention for Saturday's trip to Arsenal, provided he comes through the remaining preparations without any setbacks. Wilson had been limited to a substitute role in each of Leeds' previous three Premier League matches and has yet to record a goal contribution this season, making another appearance off the bench the most likely scenario.

Impact Bahoya's return to training puts him back in contention for Saturday's trip to Arsenal after he was forced off during France U21's win over Luxembourg. The winger appears to have avoided a significant injury, though his involvement will depend on how he responds to his first session back with the group. Bahoya has played a limited role for Leeds since his arrival and would likely be considered for a substitute appearance if cleared to feature.
