Daniel Farke's pre-match press conference took place at Thorp Arch on Thursday afternoon before Leeds United visit Southampton in the Championship and this is what we learned
Daniel Farke faced the media at Thorp Arch on Thursday afternoon as he looked ahead to the Championship clash between Leeds United and Southampton on Saturday afternoon. The manager spoke for a little over 20 minutes at the training ground and here are the headlines from what we learned.The form book would say this is the best time to play Southampton, but Daniel Farke sees a wounded, cornered animal with the claws to cut Leeds United down on Saturday.
“I'm pretty aware they would have done exactly this and then the home game against Leeds is a big opportunity because playing against us is more or less always the game of the season for our opponent.”Having only just come out of a three-games-in-six-days patch, the next is already on the horizon. The trip to Southampton is followed by a visit from Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday and then Bristol City at Elland Road a week on Saturday.
That injury was more ill-timed than we may have thought. Joseph has returned to the matchday squad on two occasions since then, but he could have had so much more maybe. “Sadly, he had this long-term injury. For a young player, who is just on the way into first-team football, it's never easy if you miss such a big part and you are out more or less for two months and you need then a bit longer in order to be back in shape.”We knew Junior Firpo had returned to team training and then broken down again, but on Thursday, Farke confirmed the left-back would be missing until after the upcoming international break.
