Joe Rodon and Crysencio Summerville hope emerges ahead of Leeds United v Leicester
There is hope that Daniel Farke will deliver good news on the potential injuries to Leeds United duo Joe Rodon and Crysencio Summerville, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Farke will speak to the media on Wednesday 1 November and will deliver updates on five main issues within his squad, including the fitness of Stuart Dallas, Djed Spence and Junior Firpo.
Rodon was taken off against Huddersfield with a hamstring complaint, with Summerville nursing a shoulder injury for weeks now while playing.
Writing in their live blog ahead of the press conference, the Yorkshire Evening Post shared what to expect from Thorp Arch in a matter of hours.
“Updates on the fitness of Stuart Dallas, Djed Spence and Junior Firpo are expected this afternoon, while it is hoped Farke has good news on the likes of Crysencio Summerville who complained of some discomfort at half-time against Huddersfield Town last weekend, and Joe Rodon who was substituted during the second half after feeling something in his hamstring,” they wrote.
Desperate.
Leeds and Farke will be desperate to have both Rodon and Summerville available in what should be the toughest game of the entire season against Leicester.
The Dutch winger should be fine and was taken off early as more of a precaution after destroying Huddersfield with two goals and two assists last time out.
Rodon is a big concern, especially when it is a hamstring issue with some caution needed to make sure that the issue is not aggravated necessarily.
Liam Cooper has been on the bench and will be ready to step in if needed, but his last start against Southampton did not end well – something that will be on the mind of everyone.
Spence and Dallas will not be involved based on past updates, but there may be a chance that Firpo will be given that he has returned to full training at Thorp Arch.
Fingers crossed for some good news.
