Impact Nmecha did not train with the team Wednesday due to a hamstring injury and is unlikely to feature in Friday's match against Nottingham Forest. He will undergo a late fitness test following the final training session to determine his availability. The forward has played a regular substitute role this season, starting just two of his last seven available matches, so his potential absence is not expected to have a major impact.

Out with hamstring injury Nmecha is out for Saturday's match against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Daniel Farke. " We'll also miss Lukas."

Impact Nmecha is not going to be with his club Saturday to take the field, with the forward dealt a hamstring injury that is too much to play through.

A return is undetermined for the forward, with further information on his injury likely to be available as he progresses.

This marked his first goal in seven appearances, while it was also his second straight outing with a goal contribution. He is up to eight shots, with four on target across his last three outings.

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.

Nmecha will likely resume a starting role once fully fit.

Impact Nmehca has missed two games with his hamstring injury and is sidelined for yet another game, with the forward out to face Palace.

Impact Nmecha is going to need some testing to make the squad Saturday, as the forward was dealt a hamstring injury. This is something to watch for the club after he has scored in three of their past four games while being a starter. That said, if he passes testing, he will likely look to see the start, with Wilfried Gnonto or Joel Piroe as possible replacements.

Impact Nmecha would equalize the game for Leeds before an eventual heartbreaking winner from City, with the forward converting from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. This marks a third straight outing for the forward with a goal since earning a starting spot, as he appears to be catching fire. He now has four goals in 13 appearances this season, although he has only earned four starts.

Impact Nmecha came off the bench for the final 15 minutes and opened his account in the Premier League with a coolly converted penalty. It was a nice finish for the striker, who seems to be behind Joel Piroe, at least to open the season. Injuries have been an issue for Nmecha in recent seasons, but if he can stay fit he should compete for minutes as Leeds look to stay in the top flight.
