Leeds United are now preparing for the Championship playoffs after missing out on automatic promotion to Leicester City and Ipswich Town.

Daniel Farke and his side can still gain promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking and will take on Norwich City in the semi-finals. To achieve that, they'll be hoping to avoid further injuries.

The treatment table at Thorp Arch has been pretty busy over the last few months, so Football FanCast can keep you up to date with all the latest Leeds news involving injuries and suspensions ahead of their trip to Carrow Road on Sunday.

Latest Leeds injury news

The Whites have a few injury concerns to worry about at this time.

Pascal Struijk has undergone surgery, and won't return until next season. The two recent names on the list are Patrick Bamford and Dan James, with updates emerging on both ahead of the trip to Norwich.

Out v Norwich

Dan James – costal cartilage

It was announced last month that Dan James suffered a costal cartilage injury and an oblique abdominal muscle tear. In good news, though, the winger could play a part in the first leg, with Farke saying he has returned to parts of training.

"Daniel James is making good progress, coming closer and closer. Joined in parts of team training. Perhaps available, depends on next 48 hours."

Patrick Bamford – bruised knee

Patrick Bamford is another who has been out in recent weeks and won't return for the semi-final against Norwich. Farke said in his recent press conference.

"Patrick will definitely miss both legs of the [semi-final]. He’s seen a different knee consultant and there is a mini trauma in the patellar tendon. He definitely needs a couple of weeks to recover."

Pascal Struijk – groin

Pascal Struijk has been out since Boxing Day and won't appear in a Leeds shirt until what will now be next season. Farke provided an update in a previous press conference, where he revealed that he's undergone surgery:

"A decision was made, he’s already had his surgery last Monday, it was long and complicated. It went well, he’s already started his first steps, but he’ll definitely miss the rest of the season and back for pre-season.”

Latest Leeds suspension news

Leeds currently don't have anyone serving a suspension or at risk of a suspension.
