James, 26, has been with the Whites since 2021 and has made 89 appearances in all competitions, three of which have come so far this season, and he has scored 18 goals. His contract at Elland Road expires in the summer of June 2026.
In this latest update regarding his condition by LeedsLive, Daniel Farke is hoping he is back after the international break. The Yorkshire outfit face back-to-back home games against high-flying Sheffield United and Watford before an away trip to Ashton Gate to play Bristol City to see off October.
They drew 2-2 away at Sunderland last time out on Friday night and are 5th in the table.
Getting James back would be a big boost for Leeds United.
He gives them another option going forward and adds more competition and depth to their squad.
The Wales international, who has 53 caps under his belt, can cause problems to opposition defenders with his pace.
James was on the books at Hull City before Swansea City snapped him up as a youngster in 2014.
He then went on to play 39 games for the Swans as a teenager before Manchester United landed him.
The Beverley-born man scored nine goals in 74 outings for the Red Devils before leaving Old Trafford for Leeds United.
James has since proved to be a useful asset for the Whites and was loaned out to Fulham in 2022 as well.
Leeds United will closely monitor him over the next two weeks and decide whether to throw him back in against Sheffield United.
They won’t want to take any risks and will only play him if he is ready.
The Whites were disappointed not to win at Sunderland
