Leeds United predicted XI v Hull City: Glen Kamara to get first start after Daniel Farke injury news
Daniel Farke revealed ahead of the Leeds United v Hull City clash that Ethan Ampadu remains a doubt for the game on Wednesday (20 September).
The German would want to continue the momentum gained after beating Millwall 3-0 on Sunday but he may be forced into making a change if Ampadu does not pass a late fitness test.
“Ampadu got a knock, there are some question marks because there are knocks and bruises in each game,” said Farke, as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
There’s a chance that Ampadu isn’t risked, at least from the start, as they’ve got another game over the weekend and it’s best if certain players get rested.
Farke isn’t a fan of rotation for rotation’s sake but given the tight schedule, he may be forced into making more changes.
Given the fact that it’s an away game and the opposition are likely to leave spaces in behind, having this team makes a lot of sense.
This front four worked wonders against Millwall and can do the same against Hull as well.
Glen Kamara, who moved to Leeds in the final days of the transfer window for a £6million fee, will perhaps be in line for his first start for the club.
Ilia Gruev is the other option, but the Finland international has had more game time and has looked solid each time he’s come off the bench.
It remains to be seen, if Ampadu does pass his fitness test whether Farke decides to give Archie Gray a rest instead.
In other Leeds United news, Daniel Farke surely has the last laugh as footage of a £20m+ player has emerged over the past week.
