Daniel Farke must be hoping that his Leeds players return from the international break in good shape and ready to perform as they prepare to face Burnley in their upcoming Premier League match.
Leeds have received some early team news for their game against Burnley, with Jaka Bijol making a strong case for a starting position in the team.
Despite Ethan Ampadu featuring in five Premier League games for Leeds this season, his form may be a concern following a recent penalty incident in Wales’ match against Belgium during the international break. The Welsh media was critical of Ampadu, giving him low ratings for his performance in the game.
Having played a key role in Leeds’ promotion last season, Ampadu’s form will be an important factor for Farke as he considers his lineup for the Burnley clash. With Ao Tanaka back from injury and gaining valuable playing time with Japan, he could be a potential replacement for Ampadu in midfield.
Given Tanaka’s past contributions to the team and his abilities on the field, Farke may have to make a tough decision regarding the starting lineup against Burnley. Tanaka’s return could provide Leeds with a much-needed energy boost in midfield, making his inclusion a sensible choice for the upcoming match.
