Leeds United Faces Fulham in Premier League Showdown
Leeds United is set to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage this Saturday, with manager Daniel Farke hoping his team can build on their impressive home performance. After a solid 0-0 draw against Newcastle, Leeds needs to secure points in away games to maintain their momentum. Meanwhile, rumors linking Jose Mourinho to the Leeds job add pressure on Farke to keep the team’s strong start going.
Injury Update
- Lukas Nmecha: Out with an injury, as revealed by Farke in the pre-game press conference.
- Ao Tanaka: Doubtful, but a cryptic Instagram post suggests he might be ready to feature against Fulham. Tanaka had to leave the game against Arsenal early due to an MCL injury. If fit, Tanaka would be a significant boost to Leeds, given his impressive performance against Everton, where he:
- Played two key passes
- Completed 42/46 passes (91% completion rate)
- Attempted two accurate long balls
- Ethan Ampadu: Could be involved, pending his reaction in the next 48 hours leading up to the match.
Farke will need to carefully assess Tanaka’s fitness to avoid further injury. A win against Fulham would be a great opportunity for Leeds to prove their Premier League credentials.
