Leeds United v Burnley team news: Eight to miss out through injury, five doubts – gallery
Team news ahead of Burnley’s clash against Leeds United at Elland Road
Burnley will be out to land an early blow on one of their promotion rivals when they take on Leeds at Saturday lunchtime.
The Clarets make their return to action with a tasty encounter following their two-week absence due to the international break.
While Daniel Farke has a handful of injury concerns, the situation looks a whole lot more serious for Scott Parker – who has a number of long-term absences to contend with.
Zian Flemming could make his debut, however, having been signed too late to feature in the derby against Blackburn Rovers the day after the transfer window closed.
Heading into Saturday’s encounter, here’s an early look at the team news for both outfits:
1. Patrick Bamford (Leeds United) – available
Leeds were without Bamford for their win against Hull City with a hamstring niggle prior to the international break but Daniel Farke has confirmed the striker has trained this week. Farke said Bamford is available to play but might not be fit to feature for the full 90 minutes. Photo: George Wood
