Leeds United injured trio latest as Daniel Farke says surprises possible before Wolves | OneFootball

Leeds United could spring a positive injury surprise before Wolves on Saturday, although Daniel Farke currently expects to go with a similar squad.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel James adductor, Anton Stach ankle and Joe Rodon ankle have not yet rejoined team training this week. Those who played in Monday’s win at Old Trafford are fit and available at Elland Road.

Farke said any return depends on at least some team training and, with two days to go when he spoke, none had reached that stage. He added that late setbacks or unexpectedly quick recoveries could occur, so assessments continue daily.

Gabriel Gudmundsson came back after a minor issue and had no reaction during his 97-minute outing against Manchester United. He, Noah Okafor and Jaka Bijol were slight risks to start, yet Okafor scored both Leeds goals before going off and Bijol finished the match.

Ao Tanaka left late on with an apparent foot problem and was seen stretching and grimacing at full time, but Farke’s update ruled out an injury, suggesting cramp.
