Leeds United handed ‘setback’ in striker race as Jesse Marsch sweats on ‘late fitness test’

Leeds United are putting the final touches on their preparations for their clash with Fulham on Sunday.

It has been a difficult run for the Whites, who are sliding down the table following a disappointing run of form, leaving Jesse Marsch under pressure.

In contrast, Fulham are in good rom, sitting in the top half, and they have already cost one manager his job this week, defeating Aston Villa 3-0 in a game that saw Steven Gerrard axed.

Leeds and Marsch will be hoping to avoid a similar fate this weekend, but in the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Elland Road.

Struijk fitness

Leeds star Pascal Struijk is set to face a late fitness test ahead of Sunday’s clash with Fulham. Struijk has impressed this season, filling in at full-back for Junior Firpo, and doing well there despite being a centre-back by trade.
