James (back) returned to training Thursday after being sidelined for around 10 days, but his availability for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester United remains uncertain, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Yesterday, he was back on the pitch with us. We have to wait to see how his body reacts and how he comes through the last two sessions, but there is a chance that he is involved."
Analysis:James missed Leeds' previous match against Arsenal due to a back injury but has now taken an encouraging step toward returning to action. The winger has only recently resumed training, and his ability to handle increased intensity will be important in determining whether he can feature Sunday. James has played a limited role this season, recording just 52 minutes across three Premier League appearances, all as a substitute, meaning his potential absence would have little impact on Leeds' usual starting lineup.
