Daniel Farke is rumored to make some big changes to the Leeds United lineup for their upcoming clash with Blackburn Rovers. According to reports from the Yorkshire Evening Post, Daniel James and Glen Kamara are likely to be axed from the XI.
With the opportunity to climb to the top of the Championship table with a win, Farke is looking to shake things up after a string of underwhelming performances. With a fully-fit squad to choose from, aside from Jamie Shackleton and Pascal Struijk, Wilfried Gnonto and Connor Roberts could be in line for starts following recent injury setbacks.
Roberts is expected to slot in at right-back, enabling Archie Gray to shift into the midfield in place of Kamara. Meanwhile, Gnonto could reclaim his spot on the right wing, potentially displacing James.
Despite Farke’s preference for consistency, the team’s recent form has left him no choice but to make some changes. With just one point separating the top three teams and automatic promotion on the line, a win is crucial.
Both Roberts and Gnonto were in fine form before their injuries and their return could provide a much-needed spark to the team. While Kamara and James have been key players, their fatigue and recent struggles make them prime candidates for being benched in favor of the fresh legs and enthusiasm that Roberts and Gnonto could bring to the squad. Ultimately, these changes could bring a positive impact and increase competition within the team as they look to secure a vital victory.
