Patrick Bamford - Out for season finale Bamford (hamstring) is not in Leeds' match day squad for Sunday's clash against Tottenham.

Impact Bamford ends the campaign with four goals and two assists from 28 Premier League appearances (18 starts) up front. The 29-year-old once again missed a lot of time due to injuries, though his production when healthy went down too as he averaged a goal every 380 minutes of play as opposed to his rate of one every 280 minutes last season and one every 180 minutes in 2020/21.

Impact Robles made a season-high six saves, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss -- even though Leeds United scored the opener early in the first half. The goalkeeper started for the third game in a row in relief of Illan Meslier. He will now look to bounce back in their crucial season-ending match, as they battle against relegation hosting Tottenham on Sunday.

Marc Roca - Out with knee injury Roca has a patellar tendon injury and is a doubt for the final two matches, according to manager Sam Allardyce.

Impact Roca stayed on the bench last week and now it's clear he has a bit of a knee issue. As usual, Allardyce didn't relay a ton of information on the injury, but with two matches to go, there's a decent chance Roca will remain out. That likely means continued time for Adam Forshaw, who is finally getting some run to close the season.

Liam Cooper - Back in training Cooper (hip) returned to training this week ahead of Sunday's trip to West Ham, according to manager Sam Allardyce.

Impact Allardyce didn't have a ton to say on the subject, but Cooper has only been out a couple weeks, so it shouldn't take too long for him to get back his fitness. The question will be if Allardyce prefers Cooper or someone else on the back line. When healthy, Cooper has often been a starter this season, though given the lack of fitness, that may not be the case the final couple matches.
