Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has played down the prospect of buying in January.
Bielsa insists there's no major concern despite their injury problems.
He said, "The injuries are in the tendons, not the muscles. Not in the fibre of the muscle. I want to be precise. It's not they're not muscular injuries, but they affect the tendon and not muscle fibres.
"Always averaged four players out, some short periods with five or six. In this moment, the absentees in attack would be (Patrick) Bamford and Rodrigo. For the trio defensively, it's (Liam) Cooper and (Kalvin) Phillips.
"We are going to recover Koch and Gelhardt has given options in that position. Pascal also. Cresswell, when he's had to play, has given positive responses. Tyler is evolving in the centre of the attack. Klich is also an option as an offensive midfielder.
"Forshaw has played as a DM before and done it well. Of course, we did not expect the problem of four injuries and have four new injuries, but I am always optimistic. I always work so the difficulties harm us as little as possible. In this case the same. With respect to signings: like I always say, any player the club is in conditions to sign better than what we have, it would be welcome, but we all know the difficulties of the winter market.
"It's difficult to find players that are competing, that don't have a place in the team they're in. Normally those competing have a space within their team. Whether it's economic viability, for those three conditions to be met is not simple."
