Leeds United injury update shared by expert ahead of Liverpool Premier League clash
Leeds United are set to be without three first-team players for their Premier League fixture against Liverpool, according to injury expert, Ben Dinnery.
The Reds travel to West Yorkshire on Monday evening (17 April) looking to build on their impressive display against Arsenal.
Dinney has suggested Leeds will still be without Max Wober after the Austrian defender missed the 5-1 hammering against Crystal Palace (Premier injuries).
Tyler Adams will also miss the game against Jurgen Klopp’s side, with the American sidelined with a hamstring issue. Stuart Dallas is also a long-term absentee from Leeds’ first-team plans.
Turnaround
A dramatic improvement is now required. The difference between the first half and second half against Palace was unbelievable and it’s hard to remember a team capitulating in such a way. Javi Gracia is known for being a relatively astute coach, with his side having an element of structure. Against Roy Hodgson’s men that was certainly not the case.
Leeds’ defence was exposed on multiple occasions, with Michael Olise pulling the strings at the heart of the midfield. The 21-year-old was given far too much time to pick passes and drive forward with the ball. When Liverpool make the trip to Elland Road, a far more conservative approach is required.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have some of the best counterattacking players on the planet and they will tear the Whites the shreds if given the chance.
The onus is now on Gracia to pick the players up ahead of the clash against the Merseysiders. Leeds are now firmly back in the relegation picture and desperately need points on the board.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are reportedly plotting a double transfer raid to sign Weston McKennie permanently, as well as Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres.
