Leeds United vs Burnley Team News: Eight Players Out Due to Injury, Five Doubts – Gallery

Team News Ahead of Burnley’s Clash Against Leeds United at Elland Road

Burnley will aim to strike early against one of their promotion rivals when they face Leeds United on Saturday lunchtime.

This exciting fixture follows a two-week break due to the international window.

While Leeds manager Daniel Farke faces a few injury concerns, Burnley’s Scott Parker is dealing with more significant long-term absences.

However, new signing Zian Flemming could make his debut after missing the derby against Blackburn Rovers, having been signed too late to feature.

As the match approaches, here’s an early update on the team news for both teams:

1. Patrick Bamford (Leeds United) – Available

Bamford missed Leeds’ win against Hull City due to a hamstring issue before the international break. However, Farke confirmed that the striker has returned to training. Although Bamford is available for selection, he may not be fit enough to play the full 90 minutes.

2. Daniel James (Leeds United) – Out

Farke has announced that winger Daniel James will be sidelined for the next four weeks after aggravating his hamstring injury during rehabilitation.

3. Max Wober (Leeds United) – Doubtful

Wober’s availability remains uncertain after picking up a knee injury while on international duty with Austria. A decision will be made closer to the game.

4. Enock Agyei (Burnley) – Out

Burnley’s young winger, Agyei, is making progress in his recovery from a long-term injury and is back on the grass, according to Scott Parker. However, this match will come too soon for him to return to action.
