Leeds head coach Neil Back told BBC Radio Leeds:

"We've picked up a few knocks and we don't know how bad they are. They will have to be managed carefully.

"Hopefully they will come through, otherwise I've got the belief that the other guys in the squad can come in and do a job.

"We needed a five-point win and anything less would have been very disappointing."
