Leeds United sit firmly in the Championship promotion race after a really impressive last quarter of the season, with a place in the Premier League very much still in their sights.
Daniel Farke and his side have the sole ambition of gaining promotion back to the top flight this term, and in order to do so, they’ll be hoping to avoid further injuries.
The treatment table at Thorp Arch has been pretty busy over the last few months, but the squad is in decent shape now as we head into a crunch period of the season.
Football FanCast keeps you up to date with all the latest Leeds news involving injuries and suspensions ahead of their clash with Millwall on Sunday.
Farke has revealed a double boost for the Whites.
Stuart Dallas continues to recover from a long-term injury sustained over 18 months ago.
Pascal Struijk suffered a setback in his recovery and will be out for the foreseeable.
In better news, the likes of Jaidon Anthony and Jamie Shackleton will return to the squad.

Pascal Struijk has been out since Boxing Day and won’t appear in a Leeds shirt until what will now be the end of March possibly.
Farke provided an update in his press conference today, where he revealed a setback in his recovery:
“With Pascal Struijk, some bad news, progress to come back into team training was not possible. It’s a bit complicated situation with him – he’s got a cartilage injury and there are always two ways to treat this injury. Either you go for surgery, if we do this he’s out for the season, or the conservative route and go for injection therapy. The doctors hoped this would be beneficial for him. We had to go this route, the cartilage needs some healing, it has progressed but the next 10 days will be decisive.”
Stuart Dallas’ situation at Leeds remains a mystery as he continues to recover from a femoral fracture he suffered against Manchester City all the way back in April of 2022.
Finally we had a bit more of an update from Farke on Dallas’ situation at this moment in time, as Farke revealed this last week:
“Stuart gets all the time he needs. It’s not possible to speak about days or whatever, we back him, he sees different consultants and try everything to work in the most professional way. Don’t want to put any pressure on him in terms of giving a time frame.”
Leeds don’t currently have anyone serving a suspension or at risk of a suspension.
