Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray are out, and Djed Spence will start for Leeds United against Blackburn Rovers.
Daniel Farke may make changes to his Leeds United starting lineup for Saturday’s Championship match against Blackburn.
However, after admitting that the team had taken some blows this week, he could look to shake things up with a couple of changes.
Illan Meslier‘s position is not in doubt, and he will start in goal barring any late injury, while Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk have established themselves as key members of Farke‘s side.
Junior Firpo is out with a hamstring strain, so Sam Byram should continue at left-back ahead of Jamie Shackleton, but Djed Spence should be ready to start for the first time since joining on loan from Tottenham in the summer, allowing Archie Gray a well-deserved rest.
Ilia Gruev continues to push for minutes in midfield, but Ethan Ampadu and Glen Kamara have been sensational all over the pitch and have been a huge reason for the excellent run of form, so both will keep their places.
Further forward, Daniel James has been in excellent form on the right wing, making the position his own ahead of Jaidon Anthony, and Farke will want him to keep it up at Ewood Park, where counter-attacks could be crucial.
Crysencio Summerville has been so important on the left that the manager may be more cautious after his knock in the week, and Wilfried Gnonto may come into his preferred left-wing role to deputise for the Dutchman.
Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter will continue to lead the line, with Patrick Bamford and Mateo Joseph vying for a rare start if he decides to switch things up.
