Pascal Struijk - Scores goal as substitute Struijk scored one goal across seven minutes during a 1-1 draw Sunday versus Brighton & Hove Albion.

Impact Struijk logged his first 2021-22 Premier League goal, which could be the central defender's best contribution for Leeds United all season. The team defense has been bad. Struijk contributed to it, so he is no longer part of Leeds United's primary starting XI.

Patrick Bamford - Doubt against Brighton Bamford (foot) "is a little too early to tell" for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Bamford was supposed to train late this week and this update isn't overly positive, now with just a week to go in the season. Given that he has just four appearances since September, there's no reason to expect he'll be in the starting XI for the season finale unless he can get minutes against Brighton.

Jack Harrison - Expected ready for Sunday Harrison (undisclosed) is expected to train Saturday and be ready for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact It's a good update for Harrison, who had to come off in the first half midweek with what looked like a hamstring injury. It's unknown the exact issue and if he'll be ready to start, but given their lack of options, he's needed if available in a must-win spot against Brighton.

Raphinha - Should be fine after cramping Raphinha was subbed off as a precaution Wednesday because of cramping, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "Raphinha's [substitution] I think was more precautionary, he was cramping...

Impact It's a great update for Raphinha and it's more clear why he was upset to come off the pitch. All signs point to him being ready to start Sunday against Brighton, the team's final home game of the season and a near must-win spot. Raphinha has failed to get a shot on target in his last four starts.

Illan Meslier - Struggles continue Meslier allowed three goals while making no saves during Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Meslier allowed a goal in the first half and two in the second as Leeds dropped all three points on Wednesday. The keeper has now allowed 77 goals in 36 league starts while his save total remained at 134.

Kalvin Phillips - Makes no impact Phillips crossed once inaccurately, made an interception and three tackles (winning one) during Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Chelsea.

Raphinha - Comes off injured against Chelsea Raphinha was subbed out of Wednesday's defeat against Chelsea in the 78th minute after suffering an apparent hamstring injury. He took a shot and made a clearance in the match befo...

Impact There was a bit of drama Wednesday as Raphinha felt that he could carry on rather than being substituted, but Leeds manager Jesse Marsch opted to take him off in an effort to keep him fit for the final two games of the season. Joe Gelhardt replaced him on the right wing against Chelsea.

Jack Harrison - Exits injured in first half Harrison was forced off in the 37th minute of Wednesday's match against Chelsea with a likely muscle injury.

Impact Already down a man due to a red card, Harrison couldn't continue just 37 minutes into the game. Junior Firpo came on for him, likely meaning a change of formation for Leeds with 10 men. Needing points, Leeds aren't in a good spot with the season on the line.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel James - Sent off with straight red James was sent off in the 24th minute of Wednesday's match against Chelsea with a straight red card.

Impact James made a harsh challenge on Mateo Kovacic early in the match and that put Leeds in a further hole, already down a goal Wednesday. James will likely be suspended the rest of the season, possibly moving Joe Gelhardt back to the starting XI next match. James will finish with four goals, four assists, 50 shots and 25 chances created in 32 appearances (29 starts).

Liam Cooper - In starting XI Wednesday Cooper (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Cooper missed the last two matches, but he's been training and is in the starting XI Wednesday. The question is position, as it looks like he could be playing right-back for the suspended Luke Ayling. Going further, it also looks like Pascal Struijk is on the left side, so Leeds are going with a bit of a different look at full-back out of need.

Patrick Bamford - Could join training this week Bamford (foot) will hopefully be in "team training by end of the week," according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Bamford has been training individually for close to a week and he's getting closer to working with his teammates. Featuring Sunday remains a doubt, but there's a chance he'll be able to come off the bench in the final two matches of the season to give Leeds a bit of a boost up front.
