Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia refused to give away details about the injuries his side face ahead of Saturday afternoon's relegation showdown with Southampton in the Premier League at Elland Road.
Leeds take on the Saints this weekend in what is a vital game in the battle for relegation. Victory for the Whites would see them move four points clear of Southampton and potentially out of the relegation zone.
However, defeat would see Ruben Selles' side leapfrog Leeds, ultimately meaning the Whites move to the bottom of the Premier League table. The 1-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park has piled yet more importance on this fixture, as the pressure continues to mount on the club to break their alarming winless streak in the top-flight.

Ahead of kick-off, Gracia did not want to give away too much information regarding the fitness concerns the Whites have heading into their crucial game tomorrow.
"There are some players injured, you know better than me," Gracia joked in his pre-match press conference. "I have a lot of information that there are some players injured for a long time and to be honest I prefer not so speak about injuries."
Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw and Rodrigo continue to be long-term absences and will not feature in Saturday's game, while Michael Skubala confirmed last week that Sonny Perkins, Liam Cooper and Marc Roca were all close to being available for selection against the Saints.
Pascal Struijk should be fit to start if he has now passed the sufficient concussion protocols following the head injury he suffered against Manchester United. Skubala also confirmed that Sinisterra - who was another casualty against Man United - was "further away" than Cooper and Roca, but that he was progressing well from the muscle injury that he picked up at Old Trafford.
Max Wober is one of the main doubts ahead of the game against Southampton after he came off at half-time against Everton with a nasty-looking shoulder injury.
