As per every match for Leeds, a common teaser of who is in the squad comes from the players’ Instagram stories, sharing a matchday graphic to essentially confirm their involvement in the squad.
Two players who have posted graphics this morning are Struijk and Firpo, indicating they aren’t missing out from the squad:
The fact that we have three games between now and Friday next week should be a concern for Farke and the medical team.
Rotating the squad better is going to be a test for Farke after struggling with that aspect a lot last season, seeing us look jaded in multiple games where we suffered poor results.
With Struijk and Firpo, Farke cannot afford long-term setbacks for either, so he needs to be cautious about their new setbacks that could spiral into much worse problems for him.Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo tease Coventry involvement on Instagram
