Leeds United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Craven Cottage to face relegation-threatened Fulham on Friday night.
The Whites, who are currently 12th in the table, will again be without the services of Adam Forshaw and Pablo Hernandez through injury, while Liam Cooper is still unavailable through illness.
Head coach Marcelo Bielsa also revealed at his pre-match press conference that Leif Davis would miss out due to an unspecified issue, while Rodrigo Moreno is a doubt due to a muscular problem that he picked up during a training session.
Leading scorer Patrick Bamford had also been a major doubt for the contest, having been forced off the field in the first half of last weekend's goalless draw with Chelsea due to a hip problem.
However, Bielsa has revealed that the striker should be available for selection, and it would not be a surprise to see the same XI from the clash with the Blues.
Helder Costa and Mateusz Klich are pushing for spots in the starting side, but Robin Koch is unlikely to be involved from the start as he works his way back from a knee problem.
Kalvin Phillips is a certain starter in the middle of the park, where there will also be a spot in the side for Raphinha, who has enjoyed an impressive first season in English football, scoring five times and registering five assists in 23 Premier League outings.
Leeds possible starting lineup: Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Alioski; Raphinha, Dallas, Phillips, Roberts, Harrison; Bamford
