Leeds United face the possibility of heading into their match against Watford on Good Friday without key defensive cover, as loanee Connor Roberts is doubtful with an injury. Roberts sustained a knock during Wales’ play-off final against Poland, which ended in a heartbreaking loss on penalties, causing concern for his availability.
Having made a significant impact off the bench in recent games, Roberts’ potential absence would be a setback for Leeds as they gear up for their trip to Vicarage Road. Manager Daniel Farke is expected to address Roberts’ fitness status in his upcoming press conference.
Meanwhile, uncertainty looms over the availability of Junior Firpo for the upcoming Championship fixture, following his international duty in Peru. With Firpo’s potential absence, Sam Byram looks set to fill in at left-back for Leeds.
The Welsh contingent of the squad will return to training today after the disappointment of missing out on Euro 2024. Despite the defeat, coach Rob Page expressed pride in his players’ efforts and resilience, emphasizing their determination to bounce back stronger.
As the team regroups and prepares for the challenges ahead, Page remains optimistic about the future, highlighting the unity and determination within the group to achieve success. Despite the setback, he believes that there is a lot more to come from his team as they strive for greatness.
