LEEDS UNITED BOSS DANIEL FARKE FACES NEW INJURY CONCERN AHEAD OF PORTSMOUTH CLASH
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been dealt another injury blow ahead of the team’s upcoming clash against Portsmouth. Mateo Joseph, the 21-year-old Spanish forward, is currently being assessed by the Whites’ medical staff after rolling his ankle in the recent draw against West Brom.
The injury concern has given Farke his “biggest headache” ahead of the trip to Fratton Park, with the Leeds United boss eager to get his squad back to full strength. Joseph’s fitness is being constantly monitored, but it remains to be seen whether he will be available for selection against Portsmouth.
While Joseph’s potential absence may be a concern for Farke, the Leeds United boss can take comfort in the fact that his team has shown impressive depth and resilience in recent weeks. Despite a string of injury concerns, the Whites have continued to push forward, with Joel Piroe emerging as a key player in the starting lineup.
Piroe’s impact has been significant, with the Dutchman scoring crucial goals throughout the season. His excellent strike against Sheffield United was a particular highlight, showcasing his ability to make a difference on the pitch.
While Joseph’s injury may be a blow, the availability of Piroe will be a welcome boost for Farke ahead of the Portsmouth clash. The Leeds United boss will be eager to get his team back to winning ways, and Piroe’s presence in the starting lineup will be crucial in achieving that goal.
As the Whites prepare to face Portsmouth, Farke will be keeping a close eye on Joseph’s fitness. However, with Piroe leading the charge, Leeds United can remain confident in their ability to cope with the injury concern and secure a positive result on the south coast.
