Patrick Bamford - Out Sunday Bamford (groin) wasn't available for the match day roster ahead of Sunday's match against Chelsea.
Impact Bamford didn't make the cut after he couldn't inspire much confidence in his recovery. While he's out, Dan James starts on the right wing and Rodrigo contributes from the tip of the attack.

Liam Cooper - Out against Chelsea Cooper (Achilles) didn't make the match day roster for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
Impact Cooper has yet to play this season and it's unclear when exactly he'll make his debut. Until he gets his chance to play, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente figure to remain the top options at center-back.

Liam Cooper - Considered day-to-day Cooper (Achilles) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Cooper was supposedly an option last week and now he's "day-to-day," which makes it seem like he's not ready to play just yet. He'll get in another week of training and then possibly be an option, but for now, he's not expected to immediately come into the starting XI for Robin Koch or Diego Llorente.

Junior Firpo - Getting closer to return Firpo (knee) is "maybe a week or two away," according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact This is the expected timeline for Firpo, who suffered an MCL injury more than a month ago. He'll need at least a week of full training before he's considered for the squad and then he'll probably get minutes off the bench before being given a start. Pascal Struijk has played well at left-back to open the campaign, but Firpo figures to steal that role.
AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Gelhardt - Ready to feature again Gelhardt is back and available for Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Gelhardt missed last week's contest with a minor issue, but he's back and available again. There's a chance he starts Sunday given the possible absence of Patrick Bamford, but it feels more likely that Rodrigo will play in the striker role for Leeds, given his early-season form.
AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Bamford - Doubt to face Chelsea Bamford (groin) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact This is a better update than Bamford gave himself in a recent interview, but it doesn't look like the striker will be starting Sunday. In his place, Rodrigo will likely move up top with Daniel James returning to the starting XI. As for Bamford, it appears to be minor and even if he doesn't get minutes Sunday, he should be in play to start the following contest.

Luke Ayling - Back on training pitch Ayling (knee) has begun individual training work Thursday, posting on social media, "Been a long time since I've been able to post a picture of me with a ball at my feet! Getting s...
Impact The fact that Ayling has yet to take part in team training sessions indicates he is still a way off from getting back onto the pitch but he is certainly heading in the right direction. Considering the defender started all 64 of his appearances over the previous two seasons, he should probably be considered a lock to reclaim a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

Patrick Bamford - Expected to be fine Bamford is expected to be fine and should train this week, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "Bamford is not bad; he felt tightness in adductor. He felt [he wasn't] 100 per cent;...
Impact This is a good sign for Bamford, who felt something early in Saturday's match that forced him to play just 28 minutes. It's probably not something that will disappear after a couple days, but there's still a slight chance he'll be an option to start Sunday against Chelsea.
AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Forshaw - Getting run with U21s Forshaw played two minutes off the bench against Southampton and is featuring for the U21s Monday.
Impact Forshaw is healthy again and is expected to contend for starts going forward, assuming he's healthy. He started 17 matches last season despite a couple injuries and figures to fight with Marc Roca and Tyler Adams for time in the Leeds midfield.

Illan Meslier - Two saves Saturday Meslier made two saves and had one clearance in Saturday's 2-2 tie versus Southampton.
Impact Meslier faced four shots and saved two of them in a disappointing draw Saturday. The goalkeeper is off to a solid start with seven saves and three goals conceded so far. The big worry for Meslier will be clean sheets after falling to just five in 38 appearances in 2021/22 after putting together 11 in the 2020/21 campaign. If Leeds can find some better defensive play they will stay out of the relegation zone and Meslier should have some solid upside.
AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pascal Struijk - Assists for draw Struijk assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 tie against Southampton.
Impact Struijk provided one assist during Saturday's draw, his first Premier League assist for Leeds in his third season for the club. The left-back has limited offensive upside, creating just 11 chances in the entirety of the 2021/22 campaign. While it's probably not worth chasing this production Struijk has been a competent left-back defensively and Leeds look much more defensively stout so far in the new season giving Struijk some clean sheet upside.
