An analysis of the choices available to Leeds United manager Daniel Farke for today’s Championship match against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park during lunchtime.
With thirty-two games behind them and fourteen left to go, Leeds United has been winning matches comfortably, allowing manager Daniel Farke to distribute playing time among the first team squad. Their performance has made them a well-coordinated unit.
The team heads to Plymouth Argyle seeking an eighth consecutive Championship victory. Farke, when asked about the challenge of selecting his starting lineup, explained that it’s a close-knit group and injuries have made it necessary for every player to contribute. “I don’t have a predetermined starting lineup at the beginning of the season,” Farke said. “I react to what happens in games and on the training pitch.”
However, Farke will be missing Patrick Bamford (calf) and Sam Byram (hamstring), but midfielder Jamie Shackleton is expected to return after becoming a father this week.
Pascal Struijk (adductor) and goalkeeper Karl Darlow (thumb) are still unavailable, with the latter close to resuming training. There’s no timeline for Stuart Dallas (femur) to return after a long injury lay-off.
The Leeds United squad for the Plymouth Argyle match includes: Meslier, Klaesson, Van den Heuvel, Roberts, Gray, Rodon, Firpo, Cooper, Cresswell, Shackleton, Ampadu, Kamara, Gruev, James, Gnonto, Summerville, Anthony, Piroe, Rutter, Gelhardt, Joseph.
