Daniel Farke Provides Injury Update Ahead of Bournemouth Clash…….
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has delivered a crucial injury update as his side prepares to face Bournemouth in their upcoming Premier League fixture. With the Whites looking to build momentum after a mixed start to the season, squad availability has become a pressing concern.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Farke confirmed that several key players are edging closer to a return, though some remain sidelined. Full-back Jayden Bogle, who has been out with a minor muscle issue, is expected to be back in contention. His recovery offers Farke a welcome boost, given Leeds’ recent defensive vulnerabilities.
Winger Daniel James has also returned to full training and could feature against the Cherries. The Welsh international’s pace and directness have been sorely missed, and Farke hinted that James may play a role, though he stressed the importance of careful squad management.
However, not all news was positive. The Leeds boss revealed that midfielder Stuart Dallas is still unavailable as he continues his long rehabilitation, while teenage prospect Archie Gray is being assessed after picking up a knock during training.
“We are in a better position than last week,” Farke told reporters. “Jayden and Dan give us extra options, but we won’t take risks. It’s a long season, and we need everyone fully fit.”
Leeds head into the clash seeking consistency after a string of uneven results, while Bournemouth will pose a physical and tactical challenge. With fresh energy potentially injected into the lineup, Farke will be hoping his side can take advantage and secure three valuable points at Elland Road.
