Leeds United received a potential boost in their quest for the title as Ipswich Town’s Kieffer Moore is expected to miss several upcoming games, according to manager Kieran McKenna.
The race for promotion from the Championship is heating up, with Leeds and Ipswich battling it out at the top alongside Leicester City. With only six games left in the season, Ipswich currently holds a one-point lead over Daniel Farke’s side.
Moore’s absence due to a back injury suffered in the last match against Southampton could be a blow to Ipswich’s title hopes. However, McKenna reassured that it is not a long-term issue and hopes for his return in the following week.
Despite Moore’s strong performances since joining on loan in January, Leeds have a strong attacking lineup with players like Connor Chaplin and Nathan Broadhead ready to step up in his absence. In contrast, Leeds themselves have been in excellent form, unbeaten in the league since December 2023, with players like Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, and Dan James firing on all cylinders.
If Leeds can continue their impressive form and capitalize on Moore’s absence, they could potentially overtake Ipswich in the title race. Farke’s side will need to maintain their momentum in the final stretch of the season to secure promotion, especially with Moore set to miss crucial games for Ipswich.
