Junior Firpo - Comes off injured in FA Cup Firpo was subbed out of Sunday's FA Cup defeat against West Ham in the 69th minute after suffering a possible concussion.
Rodrigo Moreno - Remains without timeline Rodrigo (heel) continues to deal with pain and has no timeline to return, according to Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact This is beginning to sound a lot like plantar fasciitis for Rodrigo, which could likely bug him the rest of the season. Jonny Evans went through a similar issue last year and he missed a good chunk of time. For now, it doesn't seem like Rodrigo will be available before the next international break.

Pascal Struijk - Has no timetable to return Struijk (hip) has no timeline to return, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact It's not a positive update on Struijk, who hasn't played since November because of a hip injury. It's unclear the exact issue, but it doesn't sound like he'll be ready to play in the next couple weeks, which is unfortunate for injury-hampered Leeds.

Joe Gelhardt - Out with unknown injury Gelhardt will miss the next month with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact This injury came out of nowhere for Gelhardt, who assisted in 32 minutes off the bench last match. Combined with the loss of Tyler Roberts, it's now just Patrick Bamford who is somewhat healthy after he was the injured one in the first half of the season.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Roberts - Out up to a month Roberts is expected to miss up to a month with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Roberts still has to serve his suspension when available again, but until then, he'll be injured. It's another massive injury for Leeds, as Roberts had started the prior six contests before hobbling off in the Jan. 2 win in the 58th minute. The hope is that Patrick Bamford is healthy and ready to go full 90s over the next month.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie Cresswell - Out until after break Cresswell (shoulder) will be out until February, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Cresswell only has one start to his name, but Leeds are battling a ton of injuries and his presence would be welcomed. He suffered the dislocated shoulder in training and he'll hope to return over the international break at the beginning of February.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Shackleton - Out until February Shackleton (Achilles) won't be an option until February, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Shackleton picked up the issue Dec. 14 and it looks like it'll keep him out a couple months. It's unknown the exact issue, but his absences only add to multiple regulars being out until March. When available, Shackleton has started at right-back and central midfield.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Liam Cooper - Likely out until March Cooper (hamstring) isn't expected to return until March, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Leeds have had a ton of injuries and Cooper is one of the many regulars out for an extended period. Leeds have had a mixed bag without him, allowing 14 goals in a stretch of three matches before beating Burnley 3-1 last time out. The good news is that Robin Koch and Luke Ayling are still healthy, so they'll need to stay that way.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kalvin Phillips - Expected out until March Phillips (hamstring) is expected to be out until March, confirmed manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact This is a tough blow for Leeds and it only adds onto the two-month rumor from last month. Without Phillips for the majority of the rest of the season, Leeds need to figure some things out. Adam Forshaw has been great, but he still needs a running mate to play centrally for Leeds, depending on the formation.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Bamford - Expected to be option for Cup match Bamford (hamstring) has recovered and is expected to be an option for Sunday's FA Cup match, reports David Anderson of Daily Mirror.
Impact Bamford hasn't played a full match since September, so Marcelo Bielsa will likely take things slow. The forward pulled his hamstring Dec. 5 in his original return and may need multiple bench appearances before he starts again. Either way, his return is a massive boost to the side.
JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Llorente - Suspended against West Ham Llorente picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Burnley and is suspended for the Jan. 16 trip to West Ham.
Impact Llorente has started 11 of the last 12 matches, so his absence will be felt in a difficult trip. Leeds finally had enough defenders last match, but this suspension could make things difficult to form a preferred XI, though at least the recent return of Robin Koch helps.
JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Roberts - Picks up fifth yellow in win Roberts had six shots (one on target) and three chances created to go with his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win against Burnley. He'll be suspended for the Jan....
Impact Roberts is on a run of six-straight starts, but this suspension combined with the inevitable return of Patrick Bamford could mean a return to the bench. That said, it's a wonder if he earned more playing time over the last month after he started just one of the first 13 matches of the season.
