Leeds United and Chelsea are grappling with significant selection issues ahead of their Tuesday night Premier League meeting, with a combined ten players either ruled out or facing late fitness tests.
Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday facing a mounting injury crisis, with six players sidelined and four others labeled as doubts.
Despite the absences, manager Daniel Farke received a timely boost as James Justin, Dan James, and Jaka Bijol returned to the squad for Friday’s vital win over Nottingham Forest. The Whites currently sit six points clear of the relegation zone.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior also faces selection dilemmas despite a deep squad. While hat-trick hero Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto have both been declared fit, the Blues are still managing a high volume of medical concerns.
“Class act Palmer has been managing an injury this season but Rosenior declared the midfielder as fit to start against Wolves,” ensuring Chelsea’s talisman is ready for the midweek encounter.
