Daniel Farke provides update on duo's fitness ahead of Newcastle | OneFootball

Leeds United are back in Premier League action on Monday evening, welcoming Newcastle United to Elland Road under the lights.

Ahead of welcoming Matthias Jaissle's side to West Yorkshire, Daniel Farke has issued an update on the fitness of his players following EFL Cup action midweek.

"Obviously, Joe Rodon is still out but, apart from this, no new injury concerns so far," the boss began. "Seems like everyone else is available."

Noah Okafor was amongst the substitutes in Wednesday's cup clash, coming on in the second half and setting up Dominic Calvert-Lewin to fire into the back of the net.

On the winger's condition, Farke added: "In the last weeks it was also important right now, in a week with a quick turnaround to give him a bit more time to breathe.

"I think there's even more to come and also fitness-wise more to come. I'm looking forward to have him really, hopefully soon at 100% and he can then hopefully play whatever when there is a quick turnaround.

"But for him also important to get some rest yesterday and have him also fully fresh, also for a potential start on Monday."
