Leeds United will be without the services of striker Patrick Bamford when they take on Bournemouth later today.
The England international, who has endured a frustrating spate of injuries, will not be involved for the Whites at Elland Road, missing out on Jesse Marsch's squad all together.
Illan Meslier starts in net while Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk make up the Whites back four.

Marc Roca and Tyler Adams continue their partnership in centre midfield with Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Crysencio Summerville operating further ahead of the Leeds engine room.
Rodrigo leads the line for Marsch's side, while youngsters Sam Greenwood, Wilfried Gnonto, Joe Gelhardt and Mateo Joseph are all named on the bench for Leeds.
Given that Bamford came on off the bench in Leeds dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, the fact the 29-year-old has missed out on the Bournemouth clash will concern some Whites fans.
Here's how Leeds supporters reacted to the starting XI named to take on Bournemouth at Elland Road...
Would prefer Gnonto to Harrison.
— Craig. (@bandforgood)
Joseph off the bench with 10 to go and scored a screamer to make it..... 5-0... Cos we're already winning
— Stevie G (@SteGorny)
Bamford our main striker!! Said he’d be lucky to be fit for half the season before a ball was kicked!
— Lee J.C.V.D Alder (@Lee6378)
Think it's time to cut ties with bamford if possible. Has looked so rusty all season and lacking confidence and now back to square one with him . Obviously hard to sell him with his injuries but even a loan deal could be beneficial

Bamford injured again?
