Breaking: Leeds United injury round-up with NSA’s chief chronicler and FWD ahead of the semi-final against Norwich.

Leeds United will be well on their approach to securing a spot at Wembley as they get ready for their semi-final Championship play-off matchup against Norwich City.

The Whites travel to Carrow Road with a win in April 2018 and no losses in East Anglia. Leeds, however, has not fared well in the season’s knockout round, having missed out on promotion in their previous five play-off attempts.

After losing to Southampton at Elland Road to close the regular season, Daniel Farke’s team finished six points behind Ipswich Town, who joined Leicester City in the automatic promotion berths. The Leeds manager, who has been without players like Patrick Bamford and Daniel James lately, expressed optimism that some of his players would be back for “the three finals.”

Will any of the injured Whites players be able to play again in the playoffs? The most recent information from the Thorp Arch treatment room is provided here, along with the anticipated return dates for individuals who are currently out.

Bamford, Patrick
Due to an injured knee, the striker has missed the last two league games, which included the Whites’ away loss to Queens Park Rangers, which allowed Leicester City to advance. The 30-year-old is hoping to play again for Leeds against the team he spent the second half of the 2015–16 season on loan.

What Farke stated following Southampton: “We also desperately need these types of players, especially Patrick Bamford who played a crucial role in the second half of the season. Hopefully, there’s also a chance Patrick Bamford will return to the group.”

Date of return: May 16, Norwich (H)

Daniel James
The Wales international has missed the last two league games due to an oblique abdominal injury that occurred during their 4-3 victory against Middlesbrough at the end of last month. This season, he has made almost 40 appearances for the Whites, tallying seven assists and 13 goals.

Following Southampton, Farke stated, “Hopefully, there’s also a chance Daniel James will return to the group because we also desperately need these types of players who played a crucial role throughout the season, Daniel James, especially Patrick in the second half.”

The Summerville Crysencio
The attacker played the entire length of their matchday loss to the Saints, but the Leeds manager was left wriggling in his chair, fearing he would lose his best player to the playoffs. Kamaldeen Sulemana applied a late tackle to the 22-year-old.

Following Southampton, Farke stated, “I hope Cree’s initial evaluation wasn’t too bad overall.” I’m glad Summerville’s ankle isn’t broken when you witness the foul against Piroe in this particular scene. vile and disgusting insult to him. I hope he’s doing well.”

Since sustaining a groin injury during the Boxing Day loss against Preston North End, the center back has not played. Farke supports the idea that Leeds has missed his aerial skill from set pieces and leadership in the closing minutes.

After having surgery in March, Struijk won’t be available for selection until the following season.
