Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is set to rotate his squad for the upcoming match against Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road. The Whites are coming off a 1-0 victory against Derby County, and Farke aims to manage fatigue with a busy schedule.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke will have a strong - if weary - squad available to him for today's clash with Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road. However, the German is hopeful that his rotation at Derby will now pay off as he looks to shuffle his pack again. The Whites picked up a valuable 1-0 win at Pride Park after Farke made four changes to his starting line-up - and almost as importantly, returned to West Yorkshire without any new injury issues.
Leeds will still be without injured pair Junior Firpo and Ilia Gruev for today's game, while Max Wober is again expected to miss out. The Austrian defender is close to a return, but has had limited training opportunities over the Christmas period, and is set to sit this one out again. Farke has already indicated he will rotate the squad, with such a busy schedule. 'Four games within 10 days so of course we are forced to use the whole squad,' he said. “This turnaround is a bit easier because we have at least three proper nights between games. The last turnaround was more complicated because we arrived back at Leeds in the early hours of Friday morning. “So this a bit more relaxed, but still, we have to keep in mind who played how many minutes. In this game we need a few more fresh legs and new energy on the pitch.” Leeds United squad vs Blackburn Rovers: Meslier, Darlow, Cairns, Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Struijk, Debayo, Schmidt, James, Gnonto, Ampadu, Rothwell, Tanaka, Guilavogui, Crew, Solomon, Ramazani, Aaronson, Piroe, Joseph, Bamford, Gelhardt.
