An examination of the Thorp Arch treatment facility as Leeds United gets ready to play Preston North End in the Championship
Leeds United is in excellent form heading into their next three home games, which begin on Sunday against Preston North End. Daniel Farke‘s team defeated Cardiff City 3-0, extending their winning streak in 2024.
In South Wales, Patrick Bamford, Dan James, and Georginio Rutter scored goals as the Whites won for the third time in a row. United is now seven points behind Ipswich Town, who hold the final automatic promotion spot in the Championship with 19 games to go.
The Whites’ pursuit of an immediate Premier League return is gaining traction. There is a lot of confidence in the camp, and it is no secret that Farke wants to bolster his team before the transfer market closes on February 1.
When he gets some players back from the treatment room in the upcoming weeks, his first team choices should increase even more. This is a list of everyone who is not present.
Pascal Struijk
The Dutch centre-back hasn’t played since their Boxing Day defeat at Preston North End owing to an adductor injury. Farke stated Struijk had “no chance” of playing against Cardiff. It is uncertain when Struijk will next be eligible for selection.
The club captain did not travel to South Wales with the rest of the squad. Farke stated Cooper was unable to participate in training last week due to “groyne issues”. Cooper may be involved at the weekend.
Karl Darlow
The goalkeeper is still on the sidelines as he recovers from dislocating his thumb at West Brom. The injury is expected to keep Darlow out until next month.
Stuart Dallas
The utility player has been missing since April 2022, when he shattered his leg against Manchester City at Elland Road. It’s unclear when Dallas will return to action.
