Joe Rodon, Junior Firpo and Jayden Bogle are all walking the disciplinary tightrope with nine Leeds United games until the five-yellow cut-off
Aside from the glorious performance and three points for Leeds United on Friday, the best news of the night came from the bench. The return of Daniel James and Manor Solomon to action after injury in that second half provided a monumental boost after weeks of medical setbacks for the club.
They are sizeable losses in key positions too. Aside from injuries, the great threat to player selection for Farke is suspension. Thankfully, there have been no red cards shown to his players yet, but the yellows continue to tick over. On Friday in West Yorkshire, Junior Firpo joined Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle on four yellows. They are already walking the suspension tightrope. They will be banned for one match if they, individually, pick up another one yellow apiece before the Derby County game on December 7.
In Rodon’s case, if that fifth booking comes before Max Wober is match-fit, Farke will be forced to play either Byram or James Debayo in central defence. Leeds need all three to be on their best behaviour to avoid that suspension, but it looks a massive ask when tackling is their day job.
