As the international break comes to a close, Daniel Farke is gearing up for Friday’s match against Watford at Vicarage Road. Players who have been away with their countries will have limited time at Thorp Arch leading into the Easter weekend, but Leeds United remain confident as they face a double header, including a game against Hull City on Monday, in their quest to stay at the top of the table.
In the midst of the Championship promotion race, attention turns to some notable stories circulating today.
Reports suggest that Leeds United may not offer Stuart Dallas a new contract as his current deal nears its end this summer. Dallas has been sidelined for nearly two years following a serious injury while playing against Manchester City in the Premier League. Despite his recovery progress and hopes to return before the end of the season, the decision to potentially release the fan-favorite player will be a tough one for the club.
Meanwhile, there are predictions of a severe points deduction for Leicester City after allegedly breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules, as well as facing a transfer embargo from the EFL. Football finance expert Kieran McGuire suggests that delays in submitting accounts could work against the club in determining the extent of their punishment, highlighting a potential grey area in the situation.
