Calvert‑Lewin Doubtful For Spurs After Foot Setback

Friday's training session will decide whether Leeds can field their leading striker for Saturday's match at Elland Road.

Overview

  • Dominic Calvert‑Lewin missed team training with a foot 'setback' on Thursday and manager Daniel Farke said he is 'carefully optimistic' the striker will return to training on Friday, which would put him in contention.
  • Anton Stach has been limited to individual rehab for a foot problem and Noah Okafor has done only individual work after an adductor issue, with Farke calling both players 'major doubts' for the Tottenham game.
  • Joe Rodon returned to full team training this week after a hamstring layoff and is available for selection, providing a defensive boost for Leeds.
  • Calvert‑Lewin has started every Premier League game this season and scored five goals across competitions, so his availability will materially affect Leeds' attacking threat and game plan.
  • Friday's session is the practical deadline for selection decisions, and the outcome will influence Leeds' tactics at Elland Road, the club's short‑term squad choices and fantasy managers tracking player availability.
