Leeds United return to Premier League action against Burnley this weekend in a crucial match in the relegation race.
The October international break has now come to a close and some Leeds United stars fared better than others in the crucial World Cup qualifiers.
Daniel Farke will just be relieved that his international stars don’t appear to have picked up injuries and added to his squad issues.
Especially when Leeds have an absolutely massive game against Burnley next up.
Leeds are yet to face one of their fellow promoted teams and need to be picking up a victory if they are to continue their promising start and help their bid for Premier League survival.

Burnley vs Leeds United team news
There’s finally some good news on the injury front for Leeds, as goalkeeper Lucas Perri could finally return after his thigh problem.
Karl Darlow has done well in his absence and some have called for him to keep his place. However, Darlow’s performances for Wales this past week might have opened the door for Perri.
There’s also hope Willy Gnonto could return but Farke will give an update in his pre-match press conference. Dan James is still sidelined.
Unlike Leeds, Burnley did suffer an injury on international duty as Lyle Foster pulled out of the South Africa squad.
Meanwhile, Zeki Amdouni and Jordan Beyer are out, but former Leeds duo Jaidon Anthony and Conor Roberts should both return from knocks to play.

Predictions
This is a tough game to predict. Leeds have a good record after international breaks and have enjoyed a better start than Burnley.
Yet, Burnley unexpectedly defeated Sunderland earlier this season and Leeds were unable to beat them in last season’s meetings.
It’s a must-win, but they might have to settle for a draw.
Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Leeds.
