And Whites boss Daniel Farke has provided fresh Leeds United team news ahead of the League Cup clash at Hillsborough with a star doubt but new striker chance.

Midfielder Ao Tanaka was taken off in the 58th minute of Saturday evening's 5-0 Premier League defeat at Arsenal after experiencing problems with his MCL.

The blow left the Japanese international star facing assessment ahead of tonight's cup clash for which captain Ethan Ampadu is definitely out, also with an MCL injury.

New striker signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin, though, could make the Whites matchday squad for the first time as he continues to make good progress in training.
