This weekend, the Whites play Plymouth Argyle of the Championship, their rivals in the FA Cup fourth round, with the goal of making it to the fifth round for the second straight year.Daniel Farke’s team must be making changes after their swift recovery from their midweek victory against Norwich City.Regarding Dan James and Archie Gray,
Farke’s news conference this Friday afternoon confirmed what many Leeds supporters had anticipated.Due to their individual injury issues, both players had to leave practice on Wednesday night, and the manager officially said that neither would be available for this weekend’s FA Cup match:ortunately, Gray’s terrible tackle by Norwich’s Adam Idah did not cause any ligament injury; instead, the playersimply sustained “bruising”
from the collision.Due to an adductor strain, James is ruled out and will not be able to travel to Bristol City in seven days.Centre-back Pascal Struijk, who hasn’t featured for Leeds since Boxing Day, is also on the injury list.
Farke has confirmed that Struijk won’t be available for tomorrow’s game.Struijk was not anticipated to return for this match, and the German player was unable to provide an exact return date.Even though Farke’s tone emphasized how crucial this game is, he cannot essentially stick with the lineup from the victory over Norwich.With Gray and James out, we’ll see two at the very least, but players like Joe Rodon, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, and Ethan Ampadu ought to get more rest.Farke should be seeking to make changes where possible even though we don’t have enough cover in the squad to do so.
