Shocking News: Leeds stance on sacking Crysencio Summerville revealed
Daniel Farke’s Whites had to settle for a point via a 1-1 draw in Tuesday night’s clash at a Norwich City side sat just outside of the division’s play-off places and Leeds now face a trip to early leaders Sunderland on Friday night. The Black Cats recorded their sixth victory of the new Championship season on Tuesday evening with a 2-0 triumph at home to Derby County and sit on 18 points after eight games played.
Leeds, though, have received the ultimate backing from the bookmakers ahead of their trip to the Stadium of Light for which they are favourites despite facing what could be viewed as the toughest test that the division has to offer based on current standings.
Leeds, who remain clear title favourites, are as short as 21-20 and no bigger than 13-10 to leave Sunderland with all three points for a huge boost that would send the injury hit Whites into the division’s automatic promotion places ahead of the weekend’s remaining games. Despite their impressive start, Sunderland can be backed at 9-4 and the draw is on offer at 5-2.
With Ampadu out, Leeds are left with just one defensive-minded midfielder in the form of Gruev. When replaced on Tuesday, Farke’s side had to cope with Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell, both attacking-minded.
Tanaka sat deeper as Rothwell went forward with Leeds in search of an equaliser, which they eventually got through Largie Ramazani. Farke said he will know more about Gruev’s injury on Wednesday night.
“No. We are still waiting for further assessment, he will have a scan later today. I could tell you more this evening. But as it stands, it looks a bit better today, doesn’t look that bad but we will wait for the scan.”
Leeds do have other options in the form of Wales star Charlie Crew though he is yet to make his senior Leeds debut. Pascal Struijk could play in midfield, but there is a lack of senior cover at centre-back.
