Leeds United manager Daniel Farke names a familiar starting XI for the clash against Norwich City, with both Brenden Aaronson and Manor Solomon overcoming injury concerns to feature in the lineup.
Brenden Aaronson and Manor Solomon both start for Leeds United tonight against Norwich City , despite facing doubts about their participation. Solomon sustained a minor hamstring injury during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and underwent a scan on Monday. Meanwhile, manager Daniel Farke expressed greater optimism regarding Aaronson 's inclusion, even though he suffered an ankle knock over the weekend.
The American midfielder has passed late fitness tests and begins his 26th consecutive Championship match, while Solomon's scan results have thankfully returned positive. Farke maintains the same starting lineup from Sunday's encounter. This decision means Largie Ramazani, despite netting two goals and an assist in his last two appearances, is not selected for the start. He will be on the bench. Daniel James, on the other hand, starts on the opposite right flank. If he manages another goal contribution, either a goal or an assist, he will reach a total of 10 for the season. The Welshman, however, has only managed one goal and no assists in his last five games across all competitions. Illan Meslier continues his consistent run of starting every Championship game this season, flanked by Jayden Bogle, Ethan Ampadu, and Joe Rodon, who retain their defensive positions from Sunday. Pascal Struijk remains sidelined, and Farke will provide an update on his recovery timeline later this week. Sam Byram also maintains his position at left-back, proving a reliable asset while playing out of position. The last time the 31-year-old started at right-back was in early December, a span of nine appearances ago. Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell were highly productive against Wednesday and are selected again tonight to support Aaronson at number 10. Joe Piroe, despite facing a frustrating afternoon at the weekend with limited touches, will be eager to capitalize on the opportunity to build on his 10 goals against Norwich this season. He begins his 29th game of the campaign.Starting XI: Meslier; Bogle, Ampadu, Rodon, Byram; Rothwell, Tanaka; James, Aaronson, Solomon; Piroe. Subs: Darlow, Schmidt, Firpo, Wober, Gruev, Guilavogui, Ramazani, Gnonto, Joseph
