Mateo Joseph, who injured his ankle during the 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road, is being assessed by Leeds United before of their match against Portsmouth.

After the match, Daniel Farke revealed that Joseph went over after a challenge from former Leeds loanee Kyle Bartley, who cut out a Dan James cross, which was later marked offside. The incident happened ten minutes after the 21-year-old was brought on as a second-half substitute for Brendan Aaronson.

Joseph spent the next few minutes staggering around the ground, and Farke subsequently admitted that he worried the blow might require another change. However, it soon settled and Joseph finished the match.

The Whites will decide if Joseph will join Ethan Ampadu, Max Wober, and Patrick Bamford on the sidelines. Ampadu and Wober are rehabilitating from knee ailments, and neither is expected to return before the forthcoming international break, while Bamford has a hamstring injury.

‘Leeds United’s draw against WeSunderland received a strong verdict from national media. However, two players, Roma loanee Enzo Le Fee and defender Dan Ballard, are currently out with hamstring problems and will not return until the international break later this month. Ahmed Abdullahi (groin), Aji Alese (leg), Jayden Danns (back), Jenson Seelt (knee), Niall Huggins (knee), and Tom Watson (ankle and knee) are also out, with the latter the most likely to return having just returned to full training.

Bashir Humphreys injured his quad during training, leaving Burnley without the Chelsea loanee for some time. Scott Parker described the loss as a “big blow” for the team. They are also missing Aaron Ramsey, Jordan Beyer (both knees), and Mike Tresor (undisclosed).
