Leeds United injury list in full as Liam Cooper suffers another setback with Everton clash looming

It's a quick turnaround for Leeds United. Just three days after losing to Brighton - their first defeat of the season - the Whites will host Everton under the lights at Elland Road.

Jesse Marsch will be demanding a response from his players following the defeat in Sussex, but Tuesday night's opponents are winless in their opening four Premier League fixtures.

Ahead of the clash, here is the latest Leeds United injury news.

Liam Cooper - calf

The Leeds captain has suffered another injury setback. After completing 45 minutes against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup in midweek, Cooper has sustained a minor calf injury which kept him out of the squad against Brighton.

M arsch said (Aug 27): "He picked up a little something in his calf so we just again decided to be a little bit safe.

"I always get really frustrated when we build a process and then it winds up leading to a small little injury that interrupts things so yeah, obviously we're disappointed with that, but it's not bad."

Potential return date: Unknown

Patrick Bamford - adductor

Bamford limped off in the 2-2 draw at Southampton due to an issue with his adductor. The striker has missed the games against Chelsea, Barnsley and Brighton.

Marsch said (Aug 25): “We think he’s doing well and moving forward. I think also with the performances of the team, it allows us to be patient, but we will still have a call to make.”

Potential return date: 30/08/2022

Luke Ayling - knee

The Whites vice-captain has been a long-term absentee. He missed the end of last season and had to have surgery on his knee.

Marsch said (Aug 25): “Junior and Luke, we think that they will be in training next week.”

Potential return date: 12/09/2022

Junior Firpo - knee

Firpo is nearing a return after missing the start of the season with a knee injury. The Spaniard also missed a large chunk of pre-season after picking up the injury in a 4-0 win over Blackpool in July.

Marsch said (Aug 25): “Junior and Luke, we think that they will be in training next week.”

Potential return date: 12/09/2022

Stuart Dallas - leg

Dallas picked up a serious injury against Manchester City towards the back end of last season which required major surgery. However, the versatile midfielder did start running again last week.

Marsch said (Aug 11): “Then Stuart Dallas, I saw on the pitch today, moving around a little bit. So that was an exciting moment for us.”

Potential return date: Unknown
