Liam Cooper had what appeared to be a twisted ankle as he scored his 11th goal for Leeds United against Cardiff on Sunday. Daniel Farke addressed the issue, as reported by Leeds Live.
Josh Bowler and Ike Ugbo scored goals for Cardiff in a difficult first half, and Leeds responded to draw. Cooper bravely headed the ball beyond custodian Jak Alnwick after a corner kick from Crysencio Summerville.
Cooper appeared to have twisted his ankle as he landed, though. After cutting the deficit, he started writhing in agony in the six-yard box. On his 266th Leeds appearance, his bravery served as the impetus for our two-goal comeback.
Cooper will undoubtedly be significant, as demonstrated by his performance on Sunday. Farke responded when asked about Cooper’s injury: “We have to wait for additional assessment. We’re checking him out since he rolled his ankle. He is absolutely necessary.
Liam Cooper’s injury is discussed by Daniel Farke as Leeds and Cardiff draw.
This is perhaps the time in Cooper’s nine years at Leeds when we have needed him the most. Our finest centre defender is not only a Leeds leader or a strong speaker in the locker room with promotion experience.
Cooper has played second fiddle or battled for his place in the side throughout the years. In the Premier League in particular. But Cooper will be essential this year, so it’s critical that he gets back to 100% as soon as possible.
Farke understands this. Cooper‘s injury might persuade Leeds to step up their efforts to sign a centre-back, or even two players. The players on our list include Liverpool‘s Nat Phillips and Greece star Pantelis Chatzidiakos.
