According to Phil Hay, Leeds United are waiting to find out whether Patrick Bamford and Sam Bryam will be fit to face Plymouth on Saturday. Bamford, 30, was injured during the pre-match warm-up at Swansea on Tuesday night (13 February) and had to be replaced by Joel Piroe in Daniel Farke’s starting lineup. Byram, 30, was not in the Swansea squad and has not played a game since being forced off injured 18 minutes into a win over Birmingham on January 1. Hay, an Athletic journalist, claimed that Leeds are still unsure of their position ahead of their travel to…

Daniel Farke faces the media today in his Plymouth Argyle pre-match press conference with Leeds United. Here are some of the topics he may confront at Thorp Arch. Today, Daniel Farke will hold a pre-match press conference. The Leeds United boss will field questions from television, radio, print, and online journalists at Thorp Arch ahead of Saturday’s trip to Plymouth Argyle. Here’s a rundown of some of the key things on the agenda for the boss to discuss at the training ground. Bamford update.

Up until December, Patrick Bamford would have been expecting the worst at Leeds United because nothing was going his way. The 30-year-old had recently been relegated from the club and was now battling to earn starts for a Championship squad. Summer signings Joel Piroe was becoming the main guy, and he was winning over Leeds supporters with his goals and performances; as a result, Patrick Bamford’s future looked dismal. That is why Clinton Morrison believes he will not return to Daniel Farke’s starting lineup, as reported by Soccer Special on Sky Sports (13/02/24 at 7:30 p.m.). But fast forward to…
Crysencio Summerville is receiving high accolades for his skill and numbers in the final third for Leeds United, but Graham Smyth believes his defensive effort has really improved. Summerville, 22, has been enigmatic all season. He not only scored his 16th goal of the season against Swansea on Tuesday night, but he also increased his total to 25 goals and nine assists. The Netherlands U21 player is the best player in the Championship, according to Ross McCormack. He is not wrong at the moment, as the pocket-sized ace is on fire. He is critical to our promotion efforts. Michael Bridges…
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is certain to be granted a new contract if the club wins promotion this season, according to Football Insider. Despite having more than three years left on his present contract, the 47-year-old might stay at Elland Road and receive a “big” wage raise. Farke has led his Leeds team to seven consecutive Championship wins, and they have lately climbed into second position in the table, a significant development in the race for promotion against Southampton and Ipswich Town. The German is a second-tier promotion specialist who won the league twice with Norwich City. He joined…
Raphinha left Leeds United in the summer of 2022, and his departure contributed to the club’s relegation the following season. The Whites’ current position in the Championship is partly due to the ownership that was in charge during the club’s tenure in the Premier League, with insufficient moves in and out. Replacing Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha with a slew of terrible acquisitions was bound to fail, but Leeds losing the Brazilian might have been even worse. Leeds lost Raphinha for £55 million to Barcelona. Leeds stayed up on the penultimate day against Brentford, due in part to Raphinha’s ice-cold penalty,…
Leeds United are set to pursue a permanent deal for Joe Rodon at the conclusion of the season, particularly if the Whites win promotion, but Carlton Palmer has advised his former club not to overspend. Rodon, 26, has been a rock at the back for Leeds thus far. Rodon has helped Leeds retain 14 clean sheets in 32 games this season. We’ve won six out of our last seven league games. Earlier this season, it was reported that Spurs might consider selling him for a fee in the region of £20 million. His contract with Spurs expires in June 2025,…
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has revealed the defender he despises playing against throughout his career. Bamford is now one of the most experienced attackers in the top four divisions of English football, having faced a wide range of defenders over his career. The 30-year-old stated earlier this week that he is the happy he has been at Leeds in a long time, possibly even since his first season back in the Premier League, considering the subsequent injury troubles. Despite just facing him twice, he has named a former Premier League defender. That individual is former Everton player Yerry Mina.…
Archie Gray’s performance as a right-back for Leeds United continues to improve. Gray had another start in that position Friday night as Leeds defeated Swansea City 4-0 due to goals from Crysencio Summerville, Joel Piroe, and Willy Gnonto (2). The 17-year-old did manage to register an assist, as he played a precise pass in behind the Swansea defence for Gnonto to sprint onto and tuck into the bottom corner. Gray had previously felt like a stopgap in that position, but with each passing week, he appears to be getting more comfortable, making it tough for someone like Connor Roberts to…
Leeds United’s 2024 season has seen marginal players rise to prominence. During the latter few months of 2023, Daniel Farke had found a pretty settled starting XI, but back-to-back losses over the festive break pushed him to reconsider. Patrick Bamford, Junior Firpo, and Willy Gnonto have all stepped up to the bat in recent weeks, but there is one player who sticks out. That’s Ilia Gruev. Gruev had only started two games in four months after joining from Werder Bremen on deadline day in the late summer, but he has not appeared in any tournament since a 3-0 FA Cup…
