Junior Firpo has been sidelined with a knee injury during Daniel Farke's tenure so far and the Leeds United defender has provided an update
Junior Firpo suggests he is close to a comeback for Leeds United after being sidelined through injury. The former Barcelona full-back is yet to feature so far this term due to a knee problem, but is all set to hand the manager a major boost in what will effectively be like a new signing for Farke to call upon.
Firpo has refused to commit either way, but has left the door open for a potential call-up for his homeland down the line. He added: “Of course I have followed it . I always follow a little what the Dominican Republic does in terms of sports. In the end, I was born there, my entire family is Dominican and for me it is a source of pride every time the Dominican Republic achieves something at the sporting level, which is what I dedicate myself to.
“We had a very good talk here in England, very productive in which I could see that the direction of Dominican soccer is in good hands right now and that it has a promising future. And yes, obviously they presented me with the whole project and all the ideas for the future of football in the Dominican Republic, as I said, it was a very healthy and good conversation.
