Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor and Anton Stach all rated as "major doubts" for the match at the Stadium of Light

Leeds United are facing a potential injury crisis for their trip to Sunderland with the front three of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor and Anton Stach all rated as "major doubts" for the match.

The trio formed the front three last time out against Manchester United as they have many times this season, but Daniel Farke could be without all of them for the match at the Stadium of Light, with none of the aforementioned players having trained so far in preparation for Sunday's Premier League fixture.

The loss of just one of those players would be seen as a blow to Leeds, who are not blessed with a host of attacking options in their squad, but losing all three would be an incredible hammer blow to Farke.

Both Calvert-Lewin and Stach have foot injuries, with Okafor struggling with an adductor problem which has sidelined him this week. The only good news is Wales international Daniel James has returned to full training and is expected to be fit to start if called upon at Sunderland.

"We have to wait a little and assess who is available for this game. Obviously, Joe Rodon is still out doing his rehab work. Our offensive players from the last game are all doubtful," explained Farke.

"Dominic Calvert-Lewin got a tackle and a foul late on in the last game and he is struggling with a bruise on his foot so there is a question mark about his availability. Anton Stach is the same with a foot problem after the last game and it is painful at the moment. So there is a question mark about his availability.

"Noah Okafor is struggling with some abductor problems. If the game was today all three wouldn't be available. The positive news is we still have two days so we will try to make them available,. The question is who of them will be available and for how many minutes.

"We need to assess them and take some major decisions, but all three are major doubts."
