Early team news: Tyler Adams and Stuart Dallas ruled out of Leeds United clash v Leicester City
Leeds United will be without Stuart Dallas and Tyler Adams for their huge Premier League clash with Leicester on Tuesday, according to Ben Dinnery.
The Whites have been forced to deal with several injury problems all season, but the squad is now looking strong for the most part ahead of what is surely seen as a must-win game at Elland Road in midweek.
But they will have to do it without two very influential players in Dallas and Adams according to injury expert Dinnery on Premier Injuries (23 April), who continue to recover from their long-term injuries to the thigh and hamstring respectively.
Dallas broke his femur at the end of last season and hasn’t featured at all this season, while Adams underwent hamstring surgery last month and may not play again this season.
Expected
Leeds won’t have a lot of time to prepare for this game after the loss to Fulham on Saturday afternoon, but these players missing won’t be a surprise.
Both are suffering with long-term problems and it would have been far more of a surprise had either player been available to Javi Gracia at Elland Road.
But their absences aren’t an excuse to be performing the way we have been recently, and we need to start picking up points or we could be in huge trouble.
There are just six games remaining of the season and arguably this is the last one at Elland Road where fans will be expecting a positive result considering the remaining fixtures are against Newcastle and Tottenham.
Gracia has to find a way for Leeds to improve without Adams in the side, and he has a fully fit squad outside of that to choose from. No excuses now.
