Marc Roca, a Leeds United midfielder, has had a difficult few months with Real Betis, suffering three consecutive setbacks despite originally being a key player under Manuel Pellegrini. Few of the players who went out on loan from Elland Road can confidently state that their performances improved while at their new teams. Marc Roca was an anomaly, shining in both central midfield and centre-back for Manuel Pellegrini until being sidelined by injury and illness. Marc Roca suffers from a troublesome ankle ailment. Roca has only appeared in four La Liga games since mid-January, having suffered a succession of frustrating failures…

Leeds United manager Farke will no doubt be highly furious after finding out Sky Sports’ fixture changes. As the Championship season draws to a close, Leeds United and Daniel Farke have been dealt a devastating blow as fixture changes and congestion could jeopardize their promotion bid. The West Yorkshire squad lost its first league game of 2024 on Saturday to Coventry City, and with both the club and the manager eager to put this defeat behind them, Sky Sports’ announcement of their live TV games for April will not be appreciated. Sky Sports has announced the fixtures for which they…
Leeds United will still aim for Premier League football next season, despite falling out of the automatic promotion places after their defeat to Coventry. Daniel Farke’s side was soundly thrashed at the CBS Arena on Saturday (6 April), with Joel Piroe’s second-half score little more than a consolation as the Sky Blues won 2-1 to end the Whites’ promotion aspirations. While there is still plenty of football to play between now and the conclusion of the season, most experts and journalists believe Farke’s side will be in the top flight next season, one way or another. However, one of his…
Does anyone in the Premier League want to finish fourth and play in the Champions League? Aston Villa and Tottenham are undoubtedly doing everything they can to hand the initiative to one other. Tottenham lost 3-0 at Fulham before the international break, just a week after defeating Aston Villa, much to the chagrin of their fans. Spurs shot themselves in the foot by failing to go ahead of their top-four rivals in the race for Champions League football. Aston Villa did the same on Saturday, drawing 3-3 at home to Brentford despite leading 2-0 at the start of the second…
According to TyC Sports, Argentina Under-23 manager Javier Mascherano will meet with Tottenham authorities to encourage the club to release Cristian Romero for the Olympics. Romero admitted last month that he would want to be selected for Argentina’s World Cup squad this summer (The Standard). While an Under-23 squad will compete in the Olympics, teams can nominate three players over the age of 23, and Romero has been identified as one of those three. Cristian Romero has big summer plans. The centre-back will be part of Argentina’s squad for the Copa America, which will take place from June 10th to…
Dan Plumley has stated that the 49ers Enterprises will invest in Leeds United if they are promoted to the Premier League this season. Kalvin Phillips appears to be first on the hit list in West Yorkshire, with £30 million believed to be sufficient to complete a spectacular homecoming deal. The finance expert admitted that investing is vital following promotion, and if Phillips hits the ground running, it would be a wise decision. “It’s also the necessary evil of having to invest in your squad if you get re-promoted,” he told MOT Leeds News exclusively. “If he is going to command…
Leeds United sensation Archie Gray is at the centre of some major transfer news, according to Sun columnist Alan Nixon, with Borussia Dortmund keeping an eye on the 18-year-old. Nixon stated on Sunday (7 April) via his Patreon account that the German giants are well positioned to sign the teenager if Leeds fail to be promoted from the Championship, leaving Gray with a “massive” decision to make about his future. Archie, the newest member of the Gray family’s footballing dynasty at Elland Road, has been a constant presence in the Whites’ promotion campaign this season, starting practically every game at…
Nottingham Forest meet Tottenham this evening in a very unusual 6pm Premier League kick-off – and here’s our anticipated lineup for the crucial away trip to the capital. The Reds bounced back to win 3-1 over Fulham on Tuesday night. Forest led 3–0 at halftime, with to goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chris Wood, and Morgan Gibbs-White. A win was exactly what Forest needed after going five games without a Premier League victory. Following the three big ones on Tuesday night, a draw with Crystal Palace feels like a good point. Ahead of this evening’s encounter against Tottenham, the club’s second…
David Prutton has been discussing if it is a good thing that Nottingham Forest will keep Chris Wood for another year. The in-form striker is under contract at the City Ground until the end of next season. Wood has astonished all Forest supporters in 2023/24. On Tuesday against Fulham, he scored his 12th goal of the season across all competitions. Forest first added Wood on their roster in January 2022. Fans were outraged when it was revealed that the striker’s loan deal will become permanent for £15 million after three games. In truth, last season, it appeared that the fans…
Patrick Bamford drew another blank for Leeds United in their loss to Coventry City, and Daniel Farke was questioned afterwards if he felt his striker had done enough for him. Patrick Bamford’s week at Leeds United could have turned out very differently with two right-footed attempts. The striker had two chances in the six-yard box on Easter Monday against Hull City and on Saturday against Coventry City, but both were wasted by clumsy, left-footed efforts. The Elland Road tumble, in which Bamford plotted to score from four yards out, will live in infamy. Yesterday was a far trickier opportunity at…
