Daniel Farke may be forced into making changes to his Leeds United side at Cardiff City.
Leeds head into the game in South Wales expected to return to winning ways by David Prutton fresh off the back of their first defeat of the season to Burnley.
Considering the lacklustre nature of the second half display against the Clarets, many Leeds fans will have been hoping to see some changes to the starting XI anyway.
However, Farke‘s hand may actually be forced if his latest injury update is anything to go by, with four new doubts heading into the weekend.
Junior Firpo, Manor Solomon, Joe Rothwell and Joe Rodon are said to have all been struggling with various different issues over the course of the last few days.
Why Largie Ramazani could be set for full Leeds debut
Of that quartet mentioned by Farke, Solomon is said to be the most at risk of missing the trip to Cardiff.
Solomon is currently nursing a back problem which shouldn’t really come as any surprise considering he has started four matches in just two weeks after almost a year without any competitive football.
If Solomon was to miss out, that would open up arguably the most sought after position in Farke’s starting XI on the left side of attack.
With Dan James also out injured, it should be a no brainer that Largie Ramazani is brought in for his full Leeds debut.
Ramazani – who James hailed as ‘great‘ in recent interview – has come off the bench and looked fairly dangerous in both of his outings so far, and should now be ready enough to get a start considering what Leeds paid for him.
His introduction to the side would actually arguably give Leeds more balance, as he is more suited to playing on the right than Wilfried Gnonto.
Gnonto could then move back onto the left where he shone during the early weeks of the season, making for a really exciting Leeds attack.

Ramazani could be one of three full Leeds debuts
After a few weeks of bedding in, Cardiff could be the match where all of Leeds’ other late window signings are given starts.
With Firpo nursing somewhat of a knee injury this week, Isaac Schmidt could come into replace him at left-back, though it would not be a surprise if Sam Byram is preferred.
A change should also come in the midfield as a pairing of Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu rarely works due to them both primarily being defensive minded.
As such, Ao Tanaka deserves a start to show what he can do as that more forward thinking number eight.
