Questionable for Monday
Okafor is questionable for Monday's match against Manchester United due to a back injury, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Noah Okafor today, not in team training, is struggling with some back problems - also question mark behind his availability. [He is a] doubt. So, if you would play the game already tomorrow, then [he] wouldn't be available. We have a bit more time, and I am hopeful that I have [him] ready."
Analysis: Okafor is one of the numerous Leeds players in danger of missing out Monday, although he seems to be in the most positive spot, now questionable with a back injury. Unfortunately for the club, they will lose a starter from the past match if he is out, forcing a change. That said, if he doesn't pass his late testing, James Nmecha or Wilfried Gnonto are possible replacements for the forward.
Provides assist in victory
Okafor provided one assist to go with two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout win over West Ham.
Analysis: Okafor nearly fired Leeds in front in the second minute of Sunday's FA Cup quarterfinal against West Ham, forcing a strong save from Alphonse Areola with a low effort toward the bottom corner before also setting up Ao Tanaka for the opener. He logged 69 minutes before being subbed off, ending the match with one shot and two chances created in an energetic showing out of the attacking midfield. Okafor now has two goals and two assists in his last five appearances across all competitions.
