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.

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.

Scores from penalty spot Nmecha scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Manchester City.

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.

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.
