Leeds United have no fresh injuries ahead of our meeting with Wolves on Saturday, after beating Manchester United on Monday night.
United have opened up a significant gap to the relegation zone with this week’s result away at Man Utd, sitting six clear of the bottom three with six left to play.
Up next, we welcome 20th place Wolves to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon with all eyes on another standout performance.
Leeds United team news confirmed pre-Wolves: Ao Tanaka boost confirmed
We know that three players are definitely ruled out for Saturday. Anton Stach, Joe Rodon and Dan James are confirmed absentees likely for the rest of the month.
However, there was concern that Ao Tanaka would be added to the injury list. He limped off in the second half at Old Trafford with some serious discomfort in his foot, still looking in pain as the players celebrated with the fans after full-time.
Daniel Farke confirmed in his pre-match press conference that there are no fresh injuries. He revealed every player that was available on Monday will be available against Wolves.
Graham Smyth relayed what Farke said after the press conference. He shared that Tanaka’s issue against Man Utd was merely cramp.
Specifically on the injured trio, Farke shared how close they are to returning to training.
“All players available at Man Utd are also ready for this game,” Farke said, per the YEP. “For others, Joe Rodon, Daniel James, Anton Stach, the first step is back in team training. As of today, no one is back but we have two more days, let’s see what happens. We assess them day by day but none back in team training yet.”
Daniel Farke has no brainer Leeds United XI decision vs Wolves
That injury update leaves Farke with a fairly obvious decision to make this weekend regarding his starting lineup.
Our performance was simply mesmerising at Old Trafford, and we’ve got plenty of time to have everyone rested for Saturday.
You’d imagine we go with an unchanged lineup against Wolves. It allowed us to play on the front foot, suffocate the opposition, and pose a significant threat in the final third.
That sort of side should have what it takes against Wolves. And, it keeps us playing in a brave manner that suits this squad, especially on home turf.
