Noah Okafor and Jaka Bijol are both doubts for Leeds United ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley.
Both players sustained minor knocks in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea, with Bijol forced off at half-time.
And Daniel Farke confirmed that a late call will be made about their involvement in Friday’s game against already-relegated Burnley.
‘There are, after the last game in the cup, one or two question marks,’ Farke said in his pre-match press conference.
‘Noah Okafor got a hit against his calf. There is a little question mark behind his availability.
‘Also, Jaka Bijol was dealing with some problems with his hip flexor. I hope to have them both available, but I can’t tell you right now if it’s possible.’
Elsewhere, Farke confirmed that defender Gabriel Gudmundsson is set to miss at least the next two games with a hamstring injury he also sustained in the closing stages of last weekend’s match at Wembley.

‘Yes, hamstring injury,’ Farke added. ‘It’s also a bit of a serious injury.
‘[He] will definitely miss the game on Friday and also, as it stands, the Tottenham game. Then we have to see.
‘We try to bring him back as quickly as possible, especially at this stage of the season.
‘I hope he can feature in one of the last two games, but, as it stands, the next two games, we will have to play without him.’
A five-match unbeaten run in the league, including wins against Manchester United and Wolves, has Farke’s side on the brink of survival with only four games remaining.
And Leeds will go into Friday’s match as heavy favourites against a Burnley side who are without a league win since February and a permanent manager following the departure of Scott Parker on Thursday.
