Leeds United vs Brentford - Leading Leeds goalscorer Chris Wood injury doubt for Brentford match

Posted Friday, December 16, 2016 by PA

Leeds' leading goalscorer Chris Wood is an injury doubt for the home game against Brentford.

The 14-goal striker sustained a hamstring injury in the midweek home win against Reading and - although it is not too serious - he is likely to miss out.

Eunan O'Kane remains sidelined with a groin injury, but fellow midfielder Kalvin Phillips returns to contention after sitting out a one-game ban.

Pablo Hernandez returned to training on Thursday after a hamstring injury and could be included in the squad, but the Spaniard has missed the last six matches.

Brentford boss Dean Smith has no fresh injury concerns for the trip to West Yorkshire.

The Bees have won their last two league outings and Smith is unlikely to tinker too much having found a winning formula.

Lasse Vibe and Tom Field came into the side for the 1-0 win at Bristol City on Tuesday and are expected to keep their places.

Alan McCormack will also be hopeful of a return, although Callum Elder (calf), Rico Henry (shoulder), Lewis Macleod (knee) and Alan Judge (leg) remain sidelined.
