Mateo Joseph set for golden Leeds United chance v Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea on Wednesday 28 February in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Daniel Farke has many issues to contend with though as he keeps one eye on automatic promotion in the Championship alongside the cup run.
Patrick Bamford, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Dan James are all said to be doubts for the game, in what could be a crushing blow.
Injuries take their toll on Leeds United at Elland Road.
Ask any fan, even without this latest update and they would have most likely preferred those big names to be rest in London anyway.
Leeds are now flying in the Championship, having cemented second spot on goal difference and cutting the gap to Leicester above them to only six points.
So, who could come in?
Mateo Joseph set for golden chance?
In recent seasons, it would have been Joe Gelhardt getting the nod, but the pecking order has certainly changed under the management of Farke.
Mateo Joseph is next in line to partner Joel Piroe in an attacking two in west London, with the Spaniard having started the replay win over Plymouth in the last round.
With his pace to run in behind and direct power, it could be a weapon for Leeds to utilise, but it will no doubt be a big ask for the young attacker.
Leeds are certainly putting 95% of their mind on promotion, and although the FA Cup is a good chance to keep the momentum going, there are no expectations.
That could help not only Joseph should he start, but everyone in white.
