Leeds United are about to host Bournemouth in the Premier League, and manager Daniel Farke announced the team's latest injury situation in the pre-match press conference.
Leeds United have made a solid start to the season, remaining unbeaten in their first two home games and continuing their positive momentum with an away win over Wolves in their last match. As his eyes turn to the upcoming fixtures, Falk admits that the team's injury situation is mixed.
At the pre-match press conference, Falk revealed: "Overall, there are good news and bad news. Jaden Bogle has returned to joint training. His previous injury was just a bruise that caused soreness for a few days. He has resumed training since yesterday and, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to play."
The situation of another winger, Daniel James, is also encouraging. Falk said that James returned to team training for the first time yesterday, and whether he can play against Bournemouth will depend on his physical reaction: "He has a chance to be selected for the squad, and we will make a decision at the last minute."
However, Degnan Nionto is confirmed to be absent. "He still has a problem with his calf and has not yet returned to group training, so he will definitely miss this game. I hope he can return to training next week," Falk added.
In the goalkeeper position, Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri continues to be absent due to injury, but Falk is confident in the performance of backup goalkeeper Karl Darlow: "This is not a problem because Lucas has not yet resumed joint training."
"Daro's recent performance has been very good, especially in the last away game. Not only did he make a key save, but his calm temperament on the court was also satisfactory."
Regarding Perry's recovery progress, Falk expressed optimism: "We hope that he will be able to return to training next week at the latest. But even if he resumes training, he will need time to get back to form, so I don't think he will be included in the squad before the international match day."
