Leeds United will look to get their Premier League survival bid back on track against Crystal Palace on Sunday, but a number of players are set to miss out.

Alarm bells have begun to sound again at Elland Road after a run of four top-flight matches without a win saw the Whites drop to within three points of the relegation zone.

However, the 3-0 victory against Norwich City in the FA Cup last time out would have been a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their trip to Selhurst Park.

Daniel Farke received updates on the fitness of the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor during the week, but one of the duo is expected to be absent in the capital.

Here, MOT Leeds News rounds up the injury latest from both clubs.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin set to be available for Leeds

Calvert-Lewin’s absence against Norwich last Sunday would have deeply worried supporters, but the striker allayed concerns by revealing he was fit and training.

As a result, he could slot straight back into Farke’s starting XI, and will look to add to his tally of 10 Premier League goals after being blunted by a scoring drought in recent weeks.

There was less positive news for Okafor, however. The winger has not played for almost a month due to a hamstring strain and is a major doubt for the showdown at Palace.

Okafor is back on the grass, but the next match will come too soon.

While Joe Rodon was rested against Norwich, he will be available, as will Sebastiaan Bornauw despite his substitution after just 45 minutes at Elland Road.

Question marks over Daniel Munoz

Similar to Farke, Oliver Glasner has almost a fully fit squad to choose from.

Daniel Munoz is a slight doubt due to a shoulder issue, but his availability will be subject to a late fitness test. Palace are increasingly hopeful he will be ready.

The only two confirmed absentees for Sunday’s hosts are Eddie Nketiah, with the striker not expected back until after the next international break, and Cheick Doucoure.

Doucoure has not played for Palace since a 2-0 win against Leicester City in January 2025, but Glasner is hopeful the midfielder will make his belated return this season.
