Daniel James was withdrawn during the closing stages of Wales' World Cup victory as a precaution after appearing to feel discomfort in his hamstring.
Early assessments from the Wales medical staff suggest the issue is not serious, though the winger will be monitored closely over the coming days.
Leeds United's medical team are in regular contact with the Wales camp and will provide a further update on James' availability ahead of pre-season.
