Daniel Farke has run the rule over Leeds United's injury situation ahead of Saturday's lunchtime Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield Town
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has issued an injury update ahead of his side's Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield Town. United welcome the Terriers to Elland Road for a Saturday 12.30pm kick-off for a clash that has not only local bragging rights on the line, but also huge significance at both ends of the table.
"We spoke before, he has missed big parts of pre-season, also we have to keep in mind that especially in the recent season, he was not so much a regular starter. He's also had a bit of injuries that he had during this season, already had one muscle injury and in addition to that he is also struggling with a shoulder and in the last game he was struggling with cramps at Norwich. These were the reasons altogether that he was not in the starting line-up.
Farke then added that he has no major fresh injury concerns for Saturday's match. "There are always a few knocks after a game and once you have such a quick turnaround you have to make some late decisions, but at least no major injuries what I can confirm, so I think that more or less all the players are available," he added.
"I hope both of them, Stuart and Djed can return back to team training pretty soon and then I guess Djed was also out for about eight weeks, so it's not like the first day back in team training he'll be available for the game, he also needs a bit of training, but I hope that's pretty soon, in the next days. Perhaps 10 days, 14 days that he will return back to team training but he hasn't joined us yet.
