Luke Ayling - Out at least one more match Ayling (knee) will miss Sunday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact The hope was for Ayling to recover over the break and be an option again Sunday, but that's not the case. He still doesn't have a timeline to return and until he's ready, Leeds will continue to have an issue replacing him on their back line.

Patrick Bamford - Still out against Tottenham Bamford (ankle) will remain out for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact This isn't too surprising, as there have been no updates on a possible return to training for Bamford. It wouldn't be surprising if he missed a couple more matches with this injury, something Leeds fans don't want to hear after a nervy month.

Junior Firpo - Should return against Spurs Firpo (strain) is "healthy" and "needs" minutes ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact At this point, there's a chance Firpo starts and goes a full 90 or completely misses the squad. Bielsa has been extremely cryptic with his updates, as Firpo has been given this label the last couple matches. However, this time he had the international break to recover, so he may be more likely to make the squad Sunday.

Rodrigo Moreno - Takes five shots against Leicester Rodrigo took five shots (two on target), created one chance, sent in three inaccurate crosses, made one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leicester.

Impact Rodrigo took the second-most shots for his side, but it wasn't enough to help them earn three points at home. The forward has two goals in the season, both in his previous two games, and will now look to get on the scoresheet at Tottenham on Sunday.

Daniel James - Takes six shots in draw James took six off-target shots, sent in four inaccurate crosses, made one tackle (won) and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leicester.

Impact James led his side in shots, but failed to hit the target and they ended up with one point at home. The forward has yet to scored in the season, and he will now look to find the back of the net at Tottenham on Sunday.

Jack Harrison - Sends in seven crosses in draw Harrison took two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in seven inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (both won) in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leicester.

Impact Harrison had a productive outing, making the second-most crosses for his side, but it wasn't enough to help them earn the home win. The midfielder has yet to score or assist in the season, something he will look to achieve when they visit Tottenham on Sunday.

Impact Raphinha scored the opener in the 26th minute, but they conceded the equalizer two minutes later and settled for the home draw. The forward now has five goals in the season, while also receiving his third yellow card. They will visit Tottenham on Sunday.

Illan Meslier - Makes two saves in draw Meslier made two saves and three clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leicester.

Impact Meslier wasn't really tested, but conceded in first half as they ended up with the home draw. The goalkeeper has just one clean sheet over 11 starts in the season, and will look for his second at Tottenham on Sunday.

Joe Gelhardt - Misses Leicester draw Gelhardt picked up some muscle discomfort for the U23s last week and wasn't in the squad for Sunday's draw against Leicester City.

Impact Gelhardt was getting time off the bench with Patrick Bamford injured, but he missed Sunday's contest. That being the case, once Bamford is ready to return, there probably won't be a role on the bench for Gelhardt, similar to early in the season.

Jamie Shackleton - Late test against Leicester Shackleton (undisclosed) is considered a late test for Sunday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact There's no guarantee Shackleton will be ready Sunday, which means Mateusz Klich could return to the side or Cody Drameh could make the XI Sunday, which seems like a stretch. Shackleton has started the last five matches in Luke Ayling's absence and has provided minimal fantasy value.

Junior Firpo - Could play Sunday Firpo (strain) should be an option for Sunday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Firpo didn't make the squad last week after playing with the U23s last Friday. He's had another week of full training, so it's thought he'll be an option in the senior team Sunday. When healthy, he's started five-straight matches, so if available, he could be in the XI against Leicester.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Luke Ayling - Hopeful to return after break Ayling (knee) will miss Sunday's game against Leicester and is hopeful to return after the international break, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Ayling is following his initial timeline and has been running on the pitch for a couple weeks, so there's a chance he'll be ready after the break. Leeds have struggled with injuries and Ayling would be a major boost to the side following international play.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Bamford - Remains without timeline Bamford (ankle) will remain out Sunday against Leicester City and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bamford has been out since September and it doesn't appear that he's training just yet. He was expected to train over the last international break, but it's not guaranteed he'll train during this upcoming one. In his absence, Rodrigo has tried his hand as a central forward, but Jack Harrison most recently moved there last match in a clearly evolving role.
