Leeds United vs Conventry Championship match Kick-off time has been rescheduled and postponed

Daniel Farke insists he is “very happy” with the Leeds United medical department ahead of the clash against Coventry City, despite a growing injury list.

The Whites are suffering an injury crisis ahead of the match on Saturday (28 September), with Tottenham loanee Manor Solomon the latest to join the list.

Farke addressed the ongoing crisis at his pre-match news conference, as shared by Leeds Live [26 September], who report that as many as six senior players could be out this weekend.

He said: “I am very happy with all our medical department. With all the others and due to the load with all the games, I am quite happy so far with the outcome. Hopefully it is just an exception that we have this week.

“After each and every season you review what has happened and in terms of injuries, if they are for example muscular injuries which you can perhaps avoid, or are there many contact injuries, but even last season we were pretty happy with it.

“In terms of training load it was one of the highest, or the highest loads for years at this club but the lowest injury percentage. Overall we were pretty pleased with it.

“Then in pre-season and at the beginning of the season we were really pleased and we had some pretty good games where no-one was injured.

“But for example, Max Wober was injured on international duty for his country and since that moment he has not been able to play a game for us.

“So sometimes you are unlucky with something you cannot control. Sometimes you have to accept that.”

Leeds United face injury crisis v Coventry City

Leeds may have enjoyed a resounding 2-0 victory against Cardiff City last weekend but the start of the season has been far from the standard expected for Farke.
