Leeds United Star Set for Scan as Daniel Farke Explains Trio’s Absence from Schalke Friendly
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke provided injury updates after Saturday’s friendly against Schalke 04, revealing that Crysencio Summerville will undergo a scan for a hamstring issue. Summerville missed the match, along with Patrick Bamford and Daniel James, as Leeds secured a 2-0 win over the Bundesliga 2 outfit.
Farke explained that Bamford’s fitness has been carefully managed due to the knee injury and surgery he had last season. The striker has been limited to individual sessions, and Farke felt it was more beneficial for him to continue with those rather than risk exacerbating the injury with a cameo appearance in the friendly.
“Patrick has been out for nearly three months, and this is his first week back with the team,” Farke said. “He’s had good individual sessions, and we want to build his fitness rather than giving him 10 or 15 minutes. It’s important for him to be with the team, but we still need to be careful with his knee.”
Daniel James has been nursing a slight groin strain and was also absent from the match. Farke expects him to rejoin team training shortly, saying: “Daniel has had some problems with his adductors, but it shouldn’t be a bigger problem. He’ll be back in team training from next week.”
Summerville’s hamstring issue arose on Friday, and Farke exercised caution by keeping him out of the friendly. The winger will undergo a scan to ensure the problem is not serious.
“Cree reported some hamstring problems yesterday, so we took it as a precaution,” Farke said. “We’ll scan him once we’re back home to make sure there’s nothing major. When a player reports a hamstring issue, you have to take it seriously, especially with the pitch conditions today.”
Goals from Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe secured the win for Leeds, who are due to fly back to England on Monday afternoon following Sunday’s training activities at their base in Germany. Farke’s cautious approach to injuries demonstrates his commitment to ensuring his players are fully fit and ready for the upcoming season.Here’s a rewritten version of the article in 2500 words:
