Daniel Farke has finalized his decision to include Wilfried Gnonto in his Leeds United squad to face off against Sunderland.
The highly anticipated Championship showdown is scheduled to take place at Elland Road on Monday, February 16th.
A sudden change in referees, with Adam Pope now officiating the match in West Yorkshire, has had no impact on Farke’s unwavering focus. He is solely concentrated on preparing his team for what could be a pivotal match in their season, aiming to silence doubters like Gabriel Agbonlahor.
Following their impressive 4-0 victory over Watford, Farke has opted not to make any changes to the starting lineup for the upcoming fixture. This means that Gnonto will once again start from the bench, alongside Pascal Struijk.
Despite missing out on promotion in his first season with Leeds, Farke remains determined to guide the team back to the Premier League. A win against Sunderland could see them reclaim the top spot in the Championship and establish a significant lead over third-placed Burnley.
With Sunderland closely trailing in fourth place, the stakes are high for both teams. The atmosphere at Elland Road is expected to be electric, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling and crucial match in the Championship.
