Rodrigo Moreno - Dealing with muscle issue Rodrigo didn't play during Wednesday's friendly with Monaco due to a minor strain, according to assistant manager Rene Maric.

Impact Rodrigo was dealing with some minor tightness and wasn't risked during Wednesday's friendly. On the whole it appears Rodrigo is a strong bet to return to the starting XI for a Wednesday clash with Manchester City when the Premier League resumes.

Stuart Dallas - Yet another surgery Dallas (leg) underwent surgery Wednesday, manager Jesse Marsch told reporters.

Impact Dallas' surgery Wednesday was a minor one intended for "clean up" according to the manager. Still another surgery isn't ideal as Dallas continues to target a return from a long-term injury. Dallas will likely be aiming to return to training in January, with a return to the first team likely to come once he is back up to speed and fitness in training.

Pascal Struijk - Extends contract through 2027 Struijk signed a contract extension with Leeds United through 2027, it was announced Wednesday.

Impact Struijk was due to be a free agent after the season so there were rumors of a transfer but he's elected to stay in Leeds. With starts in 13-of-14 games this season and a solid 42 tackles made in that time, Struijk offers decent potential on his best days and figures to be a long-term member of the starting lineup if he keeps improving.

Mateusz Klich - Gets minutes in friendly Klich came off the bench during Thursday's friendly win over Elche.

Impact Klich had picked up a knee issue just before the World Cup but now appears to be on the right track. He's made all 11 of his appearances this season off the bench and seems likely to continue in a similar role.

Adam Forshaw - Starts in friendly Forshaw (ankle) played for 61 minutes during Thursday's friendly win over Elche.

Impact Forshaw hasn't played a competitive match since August after undergoing surgery on his ankle. He made three appearances off the bench when fit and while he's capable of starting, might be more of a rotational piece this time around.

Jack Harrison - Features in friendly Harrison (strain) played for 61 minutes during Thursday's friendly win over Elche.

Impact Harrison had missed one game before the World Cup due to a muscular strain but looks set to take good fitness when the league returns Dec. 28 against Manchester City. For Harrison, he's logged three assists this season but none since August, so he'll hope to step up in 2023.

Diego Llorente - Has minor hand procedure Llorente had a successful medical procedure on his hand and will be back in approximately two weeks, according to coach Jesse Marsch and Leeds reports.

Impact Marsch added that: "Diego's hand: he had successful surgery and they say two weeks after the surgery he can start participating in training so that shouldn't last too long. For the most part we should [...] get most of the guys back in training before [...] Man City." The hand situation is a rather new issue for Llorente, but it doesn't sound overly serious. Leeds supporters will be keen to hear that most of the squad's injuries should clear up before league play returns on 28 December at home against City.

Crysencio Summerville - Dealing with leg knock Summerville limped off during the first half of Thursday's friendly with Elche. He was replaced by Sam Greenwood.

Impact Summerville took a rather heavy tackle early in the match, and coach Jesse Marsch decided not to risk it any further during an otherwise meaningless exhibition. Per Marsch, "hopefully, Cree's not too bad." He'll likely miss the squad's next friendly against Real Sociedad on 16 December and hope to be at full fitness when Leeds faces Manchester City within league play 28 December.

Illan Meslier - Down with mono Meslier has a case of glandular fever - also known as mono - according to coach Jesse Marsch per Leeds reports Thursday. Marsch added, "We're trying to be safe with him, but also m...

Impact Based on Marsch's comments, Meslier should be able to return to training in the relatively near future but will almost certainly miss the club's next friendly against Real Sociedad on 16 December. Leeds returns to league competition 28 December against Manchester City, and the keeper will hope to recover and train with his sights on returning for that matchup. Backup Joel Robles started Thursday's scrimmage with Elche and will hold down the fort in the meantime.

Patrick Bamford - Undergoes groin operation Bamford is undergoing a "minor surgery" for a groin issue and will miss Leeds' upcoming training camp in Spain. He is expected to be able to return to the squad in about two weeks.

Impact Bamford missed the last few games before the World Cup break due to a hip injury, which is presumably what's being operated on during this surgery. He of course missed the majority of the 2021/22 campaign due to various injuries and has only started four Premier League matches this season, playing more than 70 minutes on just one occasion.

Tyler Adams - Wins three tackles against Iran Adams won three-of-three tackles and conceded a yellow card during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Iran.

Impact Adams captained his team to some impressive performances with just one goal conceded in three group stage games. As his production is mostly defensive, Adams is unlikely to contribute as much as Weston McKennie or Christian Pulisic in the attack.

Brenden Aaronson - Creates two chances in win Aaronson created two chances from three crosses (zero accurate) during the second half of Tuesday's 1-0 win over Iran.

Impact Aaronson still hasn't gotten a chance to start but did put in a good shift after Christian Pulisic was injured while scoring. Unless manager Gregg Berhalter makes changes to the lineup he's otherwise been unwilling to do, Aaronson will remain a threat from the bench in the coming games.

Rasmus Kristensen - Three crosses in draw Kristensen sent in three crosses and made one interception during Tuesday's scoreless draw with Tunisia. He was also shown yellow once.

Impact Kristensen was deployed further up the pitch than he is typically utilized in Leeds - something which bodes well for his potential World Cup fantasy output. He was second on a rather timid Danish squad in crosses for the afternoon, but he'll need to be careful not to receive another booking within group play.

Tyler Adams - Wins three tackles in draw Adams made a clearance, two interceptions and won three of four tackles in Monday's 1-1 draw against Wales. He also took a shot in the match.

Impact Adams had a huge game defensively as his side split the points with Wales on Monday. He was one of the few players on the pitch who looked willing and able to keep running with full intensity near the end of the 10 additional stoppage-time minutes in the second half.
