Daniel Farke speaks before Crystal Palace, Leeds injury latest and England squad reaction | OneFootball

Daniel Farke addresses the media this afternoon ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Elland Road, with injury news and England selection talking points likely to dominate.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the Leeds United manager will speak at 1.30pm. Leeds are unbeaten in four league games and produced a 4-1 win over Newcastle on Monday.

Palace have had a tougher start, their only Premier League victory coming against Fulham. Pierre Sage’s side have lost their other three league games, although they beat Lech Poznan 4-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.

Joe Rodon could be the only first-team absentee. Ilia Gruev played his first football in five months for the Under-21s last week and could return to first-team consideration.

There were no fresh concerns on Monday, with Gabriel Gudmundsson’s late discomfort attributed to cramp. If any issues have arisen in training, Farke is expected to confirm them today.

This is Leeds’ final league game before the first international break of the campaign. Thomas Tuchel named his England squad this morning, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Trafford included while Jayden Bogle and James Justin missed out.

Farke offered support for Calvert-Lewin and Bogle after the Newcastle win, while Justin and Trafford were also hopeful of inclusion. Questions on those decisions, and plans for non-internationals during an unusually long three-week domestic pause, are likely.

The manager may also address Palace’s slow start under new boss Sage and the threat they pose at Elland Road.
