Leeds United attacker's big first as Daniel Farke names Whites team at Burnley with star missing

Leeds United team news is in for this afternoon’s Premier League clash at Burnley.

Daniel Farke has named his Leeds United team for this afternoon’s Premier League showdown against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Doubts concerned the availability of winger Noah Okafor who Farke revealed on Thursday had been experiencing adductor problems.

Okafor had started United’s last four league games.

Fellow winger Dan James returned to major parts of team training this week, reappearing sooner than expected in his recovery from a rolled ankle.

Farke had said there was a possibility that James could get some minutes against Burnley.

United’s head coach had already declared that new keeper Lucas Perri was not a starting option as he continues to work his way to full fitness in his recovery from a quad injury.

Perri returned to training ahead of the clash against Tottenham before the international break but not in time to feature or make the bench.

Willy Gnonto (minor hernia surgery) and young striker Harry Gray (hip flexor) had already been ruled out.

Leeds United v Burnley: Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Longstaff, Stach; Aaronson, Harrison, Calvert-Lewin.
