Leeds United squad revealed for Blackburn Rovers with one big doubt and two players sidelined

Leeds United squad revealed for Blackburn Rovers with one big doubt and two players sidelined

A look at the options Daniel Farke has at his disposal for today’s clash

Today, Leeds United travels to Blackburn Rovers in an attempt to win the Championship for the fourth time in a

row. Given that Sam Byram was forced off due to a hamstring injury during the midweek victory against Luton

Town, there is a good chance Daniel Farke will make changes to a winning squad.

Junior Firpo can be used at left-back once more by Whites manager Farke. After serving a three-match suspension,

the former Barcelona player is anticipated to replace Byram.

As United gets ready for their third game in six days, it will be intriguing to watch if Farke chooses to rotate his team.

If Farke decides to change up his attacking options, he may consider Daniel James and Mateo Joseph.

Farke described eighth-place Rovers as “one of the top teams in the division” and added, “It’s a tough test for us and

it will be another difficult game, but we don’t complain, we just want to make sure that we are on it again.”

We anticipate a close game as well, and in order to give ourselves an opportunity to gain as many points as possible,

we must fight and give it our all.

Due to knee injuries, midfielders Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu will not play in the match. The match at Ewood Park,

which kicks off at 1:30 pm, is expected to draw over 7,000 United fans.

“I think the supporters are the most valuable asset of this club,” stated Farke. “It’s unmatched; they’re highly

motivated and capable of playing a significant role as the 12th man both at home and abroad.

“We have a strong sense of solidarity with our fans, and it’s incredible to have such a travelling fan base for an away

game.

Naturally, it also serves as a significant source of additional motivation to satisfy our fans, including those who are

watching the game from home and those who are travelling. We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that they

return with a strong performance and a favourable outcome.

Leeds United squad vs Blackburn Rovers: Meslier, Darlow, Cairns, Byram, Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Struijk, Wober, Debayo, Firpo, James, Gnonto, Rothwell, Tanaka, Guilavogui, Crew, Solomon, Ramazani, Aaronson, Piroe, Joseph, Bamford, Gelhardt.
