Early Leeds United team news
Fans will have a keen eye on the Leeds arrivals this evening and the release of team news, with hope Jayden Bogle can return from a hip flexor issue in time to feature. Farke said on Friday his right-back would have three or four sessions to come through before a late call is made.
There are also doubts surrounding Sebastiaan Bornauw, who has missed most of pre-season with a calf injury, while defender Jaka Bijol is suspended. Another potential name to look out for is, of course, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who joined Leeds on Friday and could debut against the club he left earlier this summer.
Predicted line-up: Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Stach, Tanaka; James, Gnonto, Piroe
Leeds United’s pre-season preparations
Farke’s side will go into this evening’s fixture full of confidence, thanks in part to their impressive pre-season campaign. The Whites did not taste a single defeat from five summer friendlies, winning twice and drawing three times.
Leeds kicked things off with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Manchester United in July before heading off to Germany, where they beat SC Verl and Paderborn in a pair of entertaining fixtures. A return to Elland Road saw Farke’s side draw 1-1 with Villarreal before producing the same scoreline against AC Milan in Dublin.
