Leeds United<\/a><\/strong> winger Dan James<\/a> could be looking at another spell on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring on Saturday against Manchester City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A block of five tough fixtures awaits for Leeds in the final month of 2025. It starts with a home clash against Chelsea on Wednesday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds have areas to build on following their loss at Manchester City, looking much improved in the second half<\/a>, but again coming away with nothing under Daniel Farke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds United sweating over new Dan James injury nightmare after Manchester City<\/p>\n

United\u2019s second-half fightback against Man City was sparked by Farke\u2019s proactive changes at half-time. He hooked both wingers, Dan James and Willy Gnonto, in order to shift to a back five with Dominic Calvert-Lewin supporting Lukas Nmecha.<\/p>\n

While it paid dividends with a drastic uptick in performance, the reason for James coming off was actually injury.<\/p>\n

The Wales international complained of a hamstring issue during half-time that prompted Farke into making the switch.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel James reported some hamstring injuries at half time so it could be that he has done his hamstring,\u201d Farke told BBC West Yorkshire Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to wait for further assessment I hope it\u2019s not too bad. But straight after the game it didn\u2019t look too good. So it could be that he is out for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds United await confirmation on Anton Stach concussion protocol return<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Farke still has midfield issues to contend with. Sean Longstaff was confirmed last week to be out until around January with a four-to-six week absence<\/a>, thanks to a calf issue picked up against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Anton Stach missed the trip to the Etihad as well as he followed concussion protocol. Having been walloped by Emi Martinez, Stach was forced to sit out<\/a>. He\u2019s hoping to be back in training in time to feature against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Farke is due to speak to the press<\/a> on Tuesday afternoon. In which, he will confirm Stach\u2019s ability to feature or not. It would prove to be a significant boost to have him back, as Ethan Ampadu walks a yellow card suspension tightrope<\/a>.<\/p>\n
