Farke has been faced with various blows ahead of the fixtur

Farke has been faced with various blows ahead of the fixture as up to three Whites strikers have been ruled out of contention.

Patrick Bamford will be sidelined until after the international break as he recovers from a hamstring injury, with Georginio Rutter also missing Sunday owing to injury.

Academy star Mateo Joseph - who featured from the bench during Leeds’ FA Cup visit to Wales last term - had looked poised to make his first league start for the West Yorkshire outfit, although he recently rolled his ankle and has been pictured on crutches.

This should see young striker Joe Gelhardt lead the line for Farke’s side.

Star duo Tyler Adams and Jack Harrison are not expected to feature either.






Romaine Sawyers and Ryan Allsop are the only two sure-fire Cardiff absentees.

In Allsop's absence Bulut has confirmed Jak Alnwick will start.
