Jesse Marsch shares ‘incredibly intelligent’ Junior Firpo fix for Leeds United
Jesse Marsch has urged the Leeds United players to find a way to get better despite the ‘costly’ injury to Junior Firpo.
The Dominican Republic international was stretchered off with oxygen following a suspected knee injuryin the Whites’ 3-0 loss against Aston Villa.
The American has since called upon the “incredibly intelligent” Stuart Dallas to fill in for the 25-year-old.
Marsch The Yorkshire Post: “It will be costly. Any time you lose a player, it is tough.
“We will have to play Stuart at left-back, he can manage that, it’s probably his best position.
“He is incredibly intelligent [and] he can manage it. We have to find a way with adversity to get better.”
Not surprising
It is typical of this season that another senior player in the squad finds themselves out injured with what looks like a very serious injury.
It hasn’t done Marsch any favours at all despite the positive spin he put on the injury, as expected from the new boss.
Dallas can play left-back very well but that doesn’t change the fact he is a right sided player.
The Whites will now have to shift a player out of position which will leave a gap to be filled in yet another area which really isn’t ideal.
Marsch had a mountain to climb anyway with the extremely difficult circumstances he joined the club. It wasn’t just the teams from but taking charge after a club legend that the fans desperately didn’t want to see go is tough.
