The Reds are set to be without captain Bruno Fernandes again, as he is still recovering from the hamstring issue he picked up against Aston Villa.\n<\/p>\n
Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount have also missed recent games through injury, and Amorim suggested in his pre-match press conference that he doesn\u2019t expect any of them to return.\n<\/p>\n
We will still be without Amad, Bryan Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui as they continue their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu will serve a one-match suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season for a handball against Liverpool on New Year\u2019s Day.\n<\/p>\n
Fellow Wales international Joe Rodon will also be missing from the backline after he suffered an ankle injury in the 1-1 draw at Sunderland just after Christmas.\n<\/p>\n
Daniel James is still recovering from his injury and therefore is unlikely to feature against his former side.\n<\/p>\n
Leeds manager Daniel Farke hope Sebastiaan Bornauw and Ilia Gruev will be fit to start after they were both withdrawn from the game at Anfield due to \u201ccramps\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TEAM NEWS The Reds are set to be without captain Bruno Fernandes again, as he is still recovering…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[135151,3214,59,1753,4980,50,1755,101,56,54,1756,55],"class_list":["post-350120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-2026_01_04_elland_road_leeds","tag-first-team","tag-gb","tag-like","tag-match-coverage","tag-news","tag-search","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-now","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
