Sunderland and Derby County return to Championship action at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats at the weekend, with Derby falling to a controversial 3-2 defeat to Norwich City on home turf after some controversial refereeing decisions. Sunderland were beaten 2-1 by Watford at Vicarage Road after a late penalty. Both Regis Le Bris and Paul Warne have a number of injury concerns and big selection decisions to make. Here’s everything you need to know...
1. Ian Poveda - out
Poveda has had a frustrating start to his time at Sunderland and suffered a muscle problem just ten minutes after coming off the bench during the win over Derby on Tuesday night. Expected to be out for four to six weeks. | Ian Poveda by Chris Fryatt
2. Ethan Ampadu - out
Leeds United's captain suffered a knee injury during the win over Coventry City last weekend and there are fears that he will be absent until the new year. A huge blow, though Ao Tanaka is a summer signing from Fortuna Dusseldorf impressing in his absence. Photo: George Wood
3. Ilia Gruev - out
Ampadu's usual midfield partner, Gruev limped out of the draw with Norwich City in midweek. Leeds have confirmed he will now undergo surgery and is out for the foreseeable. Will likely mean Bournemouth loanee Joe Rothwell comes into the XI. | Getty Images
