Leeds United manager Daniel Farke faces a transfer decision as defender Pascal Struijk faces a potential three-month absence due to a leg injury. Farke will need to assess his defensive options and potentially explore new signings if Struijk's injury proves to be long-term.
Daniel Farke may have to alter his transfer plans if Pascal Struijk’s setback turns out to be more severe than first hoped.
Pascal problem Farke has a decision to make. Struijk will be out for at least three weeks but could be out for up to three months if scans next week show the vice-captain has damaged his tendon. Farke has admitted he will also need to manage the load of Max Wober with his ongoing knee concerns. If the Whites boss wishes to maintain the balance he wants in the side amid a possible long-term Struijk absence, then Leeds need to be drawing up options.
Farke is in daily conversation with club chiefs about potential recruitment, and was scheduled to have an in-depth meeting after the press conference having already had a lengthy one on Thursday. Piroe available Joel Piroe was left out of the win over Harrogate more as a precaution than out of any serious worry. The striker had picked up muscle complaints in the build-up so, with Patrick Bamford out until the end of the month, Piroe was rested.
Number 10 admission Brenden Aaronson, unsurprisingly, will remain as Farke’s primary choice at number 10 albeit less clear is who is the manager’s go-to back up. The boss was happy with Manor Solomon’s performance in the role against Harrogate but curtailed going overboard in his praise given the strength of opposition.
