Junior Firpo car spotted ahead of Leeds United v Derby County
Leeds United defender Junior Firpo’s car is at Elland Road ahead of the Derby County clash, according to Beren Cross.
The left-back, who missed the last four games through suspension, was a doubt for this one after picking up an injury on his foot.

Junior Firpo is likely to make the squad for Leeds United v Derby County
The presence of Firpo’s car at Elland Road suggests he is likely to be involved in the clash against Derby County.
Given that he has been sidelined due to a suspension and a subsequent foot injury, his attendance at the stadium indicates that he’s in the vicinity for game-related activities.
Farke’s update that Firpo was touch and go for the game, coupled with the fact that he hadn’t trained fully, raises questions about his readiness to start.
However, his car being at the home of Leeds could mean he’s either there for a final assessment or to support the team from the bench.
His inclusion in the matchday squad, even if not starting, would provide valuable options for Farke, especially considering Leeds United’s need for defensive stability.
When fit, he’s undoubtedly the first choice and hopefully, he can make an impact on Saturday afternoon as well.
