One player Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is guaranteed to be quizzed about when he faces the local and national media later this week is Largie Ramazani.
The talented forward recently implied on social media that he is edging nearer to an Elland Road return. The Belgian has not figured since suffering an ankle injury at home to Watford on October 22.
Farke will be asked to provide fitness updates on forwards Ramazani and Joe Gelhardt ahead of Sunday’s trip to Swansea City. If the pair are available for selection, it would mean Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are their only first team injury concerns going into an important phase of the campaign.

But how the Whites’ promotion rivals shaping up on the injury and suspension front? We have taken a closer look at the automatic promotion contenders.
Sunderland
The Black Cats have drawn their past three matches and will definitely be without Jobe Bellingham, Trai Hume and Patrick Roberts due to suspension when they visit Millwall on Saturday. Romaine Mundle and Alan Browne are big injury doubts.
Former United winger Ian Poveda has been absent since October because of a muscle problem. Neither Poveda nor Salis Abdul Samed are likely to return to action this weekend.

Sheffield United
A calf problem kept Kieffer Moore out of the Steel City derby. The knock forced the big striker to pull out of the Wales squad. It remains unclear whether Moore will be fit to face Coventry City.
Midfield maestro Oliver Arblaster was withdrawn against Sheffield Wednesday after suffering a knee injury. Boss Chris Wilder said: “I think he fell heavily on the astro-turf part of the grass and jolted his knee. We’ll get it scanned and hopefully, fingers crossed, he’ll be okay for Coventry.”
Striker Rhian Brewster has sat-out the last two matches, but Tom Davies is nearing a return after being given a run-out for the Under-21s. Sai Sachdev faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing leg surgery.
Burnley
The Clarets have been hit hard by injuries. One-time Whites transfer target Manuel Benson has spent the last few months on the sidelines with a calf/Achilles injury sustained at the end of August.
Jordan Beyer has not played this calendar year, having undergone knee surgery. Hjalmar Ekdal (hamstring), Lyle Foster (knee) Aaron Ramsey (knee), Joe Worrall (foot) and Hannes Delcroix are still out.
Mike Tresor has returned to full training following his long term issue and Nathan Redmond is also back in the fold after surgery.
