Leeds United ready to win v Watford?
The trio being in contention for the Leeds v Watford clash is a significant boost for the team.
Roberts has been a new signing for the Whites and has provided both defensive solidity and attacking threat from full-back.
Gnonto and Gruev have been mainstays and their availability adds to Farke’s selection choices and tactical flexibility, especially as Leeds aim to maintain their lead at the top of the Championship table.
Having these players potentially available increases competition within the squad and provides reassurance in case of injuries or fatigue among the starting lineup.
Additionally, their presence can boost team morale and confidence, knowing that key players are ready to contribute to the team’s success.
They surely will require late fitness tests but as of now, they have not been ruled out which is a positive sign.
