Leeds United vs Norwich injury news with 7 potential casualties for play-off clash

Before their Championship play-off match, both teams have late injury tests for some of their star players.

The winner of this tie will go back to the Premier League, while the loser will have to stay in the Championship

for another year. Norwich held the Whites to a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road, giving Daniel Farke some material to

work with in the second leg. Leeds will play in front of the Elland Road faithful on Thursday evening,

which could greatly help the first-team squad. Both teams have their sights set on Wembley,

but some important players may be forced to miss the match due to injury.

Leeds United injury updates

Three important players for Leeds could be absent from their Thursday night match against Norwich,

In the first leg of the play-off semi-final, the return of Dan James and Connor Roberts gave the Yorkshire team

a boost.

Unfortunately, Patrick Bamford was unable to participate once more due to a knee ailment that has kept him

out of action since April.

Although Leeds Live report that the striker will not be able to make a comeback,

it is unclear if he will be ready in time.

Due to injuries, the seasons of Stuart Dallas and Pascal Struijk have both ended.

Latest injury news for Norwich City

As the driving force behind Huddersfield Town’s 2017 ascent to the Premier League,

Norwich City manager David Wagner hopes to secure another promotion through the play-offs.

Although a draw at Carrow Road would be seen as a win for the Canaries,

it will be difficult to control the Elland Road fans.

Due to injuries primarily to their front line, Norwich may be missing up to four players for their Thursday night

trip to Yorkshire.

Liam Gibbs and Onel Hernandez had their campaigns terminated early,

and Josh Sargent and Ashley Barnes are both question marks.

Preview of Leeds vs. Norwich

After their match on Thursday night, one of Leeds or Norwich will face the Wembley arch,

opening up a fantastic opportunity to return to the top flight.

It provides a lifeline to both teams’ aspirations of promotion,

allowing them to hold onto their best players and continue developing.

Those that are relegated to the second division will need to start over,

perhaps losing some of their stars in the process.

Even though both the Whites and the Canaries would have like to lead going into the second leg,

a tie score allows both teams to win.

Leeds needs the crowd to give them that additional push and swing the tie in their favor,

but if they start to get nervous, the previous play-off ghosts could haunt them once more.
