Noah Okafor will miss Leeds United\u2019s Premier League game against Tottenham on Monday night resulting from an injury.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has been in superb form for Leeds in recent weeks, scoring six goals in his last seven Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Okafor was forced off early within the second half of Leeds\u2019 3-1 win at home to Burnley last Friday resulting from a calf problem.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Friday, Leeds\u2019 assistant manager Edmund Riemer, who took the pre-match press conference as Daniel Farke is affected by illness, confirmed that Okafor is ruled out for the team\u2019s trip to Tottenham, in addition to their following Premier League game at home to Brighton on May 17.<\/p>\n

Leeds are also without Gabriel Gudmundsson resulting from a hamstring injury, whilecentre-back Pascal Struijk took a knock in training this week and is a doubt for the sport against Spurs.<\/p>\n

\u2018Because the manager mentioned last week, Gabi will likely be out for this week and we\u2019ll assess him every day,\u2019 Riemer said.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve got one other one with Noah who picked up a calf strain so will miss the following two games. We\u2019re hopeful he\u2019ll be available for the last game. He sustained it after the the FA Cup game, in the appropriate calf. Within the Burnley game he pulled the left calf. He\u2019ll likely be out the following two games.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pascal just isn’t going to coach today with us, he got a hip contusion and can train individually but we hope he\u2019ll be available.\u2019<\/p>\n

Leeds, who’re unbeaten of their last six Premier League games, sit 14th within the table with 43 points and will likely be protected from relegation on Sunday if Arsenal beat West Ham.<\/p>\n
