Leeds United manager Daniel Farke provided important updates ahead of their match against Coventry City. Several key players are dealing with injuries:
– **Manor Solomon** is out with back problems affecting his hamstrings. There’s hope he’ll return for the Norwich game.
– **Max Wöber** is facing a more serious knee issue, and surgery might be necessary if no improvement is seen soon.
– **Dan James** remains unavailable until after the next international break, though there is optimism for an earlier return.
– **Pascal Struijk** is struggling with adductor issues. He has been vital in defense, and his fitness for the match will depend on the final training session.
Farke mentioned that **Ethan Ampadu** might move to defense, but he also highlighted the potential for 19-year-old **James Debayo** to make his debut, having been impressed with his development. Additionally, **Junior Firpo** has returned to training, and **Patrick Bamford** is expected to be fit after recovering from a knock.
Regarding the attacking lineup, Farke discussed the tactical decisions between **Mateo Joseph** and **Joel Piroe**, praising Joseph’s work rate and contributions, including three assists. He emphasized that a total of 30 to 40 goals from all the strikers, regardless of who scores, would be a solid target for the season.
