Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has provided a fitness update ahead of their match against Manchester United. The news isn’t positive, with several players set to miss the game.
Injury Concerns Mount for Leeds
Anton Stach and Joe Rodon will both miss the match against Manchester United. Both players picked up ankle injuries in the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final victory over West Ham United. Daniel James is also unavailable, having suffered an adductor strain before the cup game.
There are further doubts surrounding the availability of other players.
Okafor a Doubt With Back Issue
Noah Okafor is struggling with some back problems. He was not in team training. His availability is uncertain.
Other Players in Doubt
Jaka Bijol is struggling with a knock. He has not participated in team training this week. Gabi Gudmundsson is making progress after returning from international games with light groin problems.
Farke remains hopeful that Bijol and Gudmundsson might be available. He stated that if the game was to be played imminently, all three would be unavailable. However, with more time before the match, he is hopeful they could be ready.
