Jack Harrison - Plays 58 minutes in loss Harrison created one chance in 58 minutes of Thursday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Harrison performed far better in the loss to Leicester City than in Thursday's defeat, as he's created six chances in his last two matches but five came from the first game. He and the rest of his team have a golden opportunity to improve against Norwich City, which have conceded the second-most goals in the league.

Daniel James - Concedes yellow card in loss James conceded a yellow card and logged two inaccurate crosses during Thursday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact James continues to play as the primary striker but it hasn't worked out as he's recorded just three total shots and his team is scoreless in their last four matches. He'll need to do much better against Norwich City, which have conceded the second-most goals in the league behind only James' Leeds.

Patrick Bamford - Gets 32 minutes in loss Bamford had one shot not on goal and one chance created in 32 minutes of Thursday's loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Bamford finally got some minutes Thursday, his most in a match since September. He's still working his way back to full fitness and while there's a chance he starts Sunday at Norwich, it's unlikely he's ready for a full 90. No matter, it's a great spot home against Norwich and Leeds will be hungry for points.

Junior Firpo - Injured against Villa Firpo picked up a knee injury in Thursday's loss against Aston Villa, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "We don't yet but it's probably something on the inside of his knee like an...

Impact Leeds made three early substitutions, so Firpo couldn't be subbed off Thursday, as he was given a full 90 in the match sheet despite being taken off on a stretcher with about 15 minutes to go. It's another injury for Leeds and one that will again force them to reassess the back line, possibly moving Stuart Dallas to that left-back role again.

Leo Fuhr Hjelde - Undergoes knee surgery Hjelde underwent knee surgery, but he's already walking without a limp and could be back within weeks rather than months, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact This is an extremely optimistic take from Marsch, who seems to have that outlook on all of his injured players. No matter, even if Hjelde returns in April, he doesn't have a spot in the side unless Leeds are desperate for bodies, as that's what led to his prior two appearances off the bench.

Kalvin Phillips - Hopeful to return over break Phillips (hamstring) is working his way back from injury and manager Jesse Marsch is hoping to get him into full training over the international break.

Impact Phillips was originally expected out until March and now that date has been pushed back to April. He's been out since Dec. 5, which is unfortunate, but hamstring injuries aren't something to rush if not ready. Fortunately for Leeds, Adam Forshaw and most of the defenders have been healthy in recent weeks.

Liam Cooper - Edging closer to return Cooper (hamstring) was in training Tuesday and is making good progress, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact It's a positive update on Cooper, who has been out since Dec. 5 with a hamstring injury. There's a chance he's available before the international break, but given his lengthy absence, it's hard to see him getting a start in the next few matches.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Llorente - Training ahead of Villa match Llorente (undisclosed) is training and close to 100 percent ahead of Thursday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Llorente could move back into the starting XI Thursday, assuming he's fit and that Marsch prefers him on the back line. Given some injuries, it's still unknown who Marsch prefers in his squad, but Llorente figures to be one of the regulars when healthy.

Adam Forshaw - Feeling better in recent weeks Forshaw is feeling well after returning from a hamstring injury and is getting close to 100 percent, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Forshaw came off the bench in his first match under Jesse Marsch, but he still figures to contend for starts the rest of the way. He went a full 90 in the last three matches under Marcelo Bielsa and has played well in the midfield when healthy, especially without Kalvin Phillips most of that time.

Patrick Bamford - Will play Thursday Bamford will play Thursday against Aston Villa after staying on the bench last match, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "He won't start but he'll be ready from the bench. We're ex...

Impact Unsurprisingly, Leeds are slowly working Bamford back into the squad and he should get minutes Thursday. He hasn't played since December and really hasn't seen significant time since September, so his return is going to be a work in progress and he may not even be ready to start Sunday against Norwich.

How Patrick Bamford fits into the way Jesse Marsch wants to play Marsch chose not to gamble on Bamford against Leicester but he is far more likely to figure against Aston Villa and Norwich City

Tyler Roberts - Out three months after hamstring surgery Roberts underwent successful hamstring surgery and will likely miss the rest of the season.

Impact This is a tough injury for Roberts after playing through the issue almost his entire 14 minutes on the pitch against Leicester City over the weekend. Clearly, it was a bad decision by all involved and now Roberts will miss the season. He'll finish with one goal and one assist from 23 appearances (seven starts), similar numbers to the prior campaign.

Illan Meslier - Beaten once in loss Meslier allowed a goal while making three saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Meslier conceded the lone goal of the match in the 67th minute as Leeds dropped all three points. The keeper has now allowed 61 goals in 27 league starts while his three saves upped his season total to 102.

Daniel James - Creates two chances James took two shots (one on goal), crossed three times inaccurately and created two chances during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact James was held off the scoresheet as Leeds were blanked by Leicester on Saturday. The forward finished with the third highest amount of shots and chances created on the team in the loss.

Raphinha - Fires four shots Raphinha took four shots (one on goal), crossed five times inaccurately and created three chances during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Raphinha was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as Leeds were shutout on Saturday. The attacker finished with the second highest amount of chances created on the team while his four shots led Leeds in the loss.
