Leeds United have been handed a quadruple injury boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League fixture.

What's the latest?

In a recent article for Leeds Live, Beren Cross revealed that there could be light at the end of the tunnel regarding both Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling's respective recoveries from injury, with the centre-forward having been sidelined since September with an ankle injury, while the right-back has missed the Whites' last nine fixtures due to a knee injury.

The journalist then went on to state that the knocks of Raphinha and Rodrigo - who both missed the Leeds' 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday - are only believed to be minor, suggesting that the duo will be back for the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.

In his article, Cross wrote: "There is hopefully light at the end of the tunnel for United. Ayling and Bamford are thought to be making good progress and not far away, while Raphinha and Rodrigo’s issues are thought to be minor."

Fans will be buzzing

While Leeds have not enjoyed the best of seasons so far this term, with Marcelo Bielsa's side having picked up just 11 points from their opening 12 fixtures of the campaign, considering just how important the quartet of Bamford, Ayling, Raphinha and Rodrigo are to the Whites, when these four all make a return to first-team football, it would not be surprising to see Leeds shoot up the league standings.

Indeed, last season, Raphinha ranked as the club's third-best performer in the league according to SofaScore, while Ayling, Bamford and Rodrigo came in as the Whites' sixth, seventh and tenth-best players in the top flight respectively.

As such, despite the fact that Leeds currently sit in 17th place in the Premier League standings, a mere two points above Burnley in the relegation zone, following Cross' latest injury update, the Elland Road faithful shouldn't have too much to worry regarding relegation just yet as they gear up for the exiting return of their star men.
