“I’m also a bit surprised” Daniel Farke reveal SHOCKING verdict towards how Leeds United squad surprised him for the first in his Coaching career.
Daniel Farke, the 47-year-old Leeds United manager, announced at his pre-match press conference on Thursday that he has a fully fit squad available for selection ahead of the season opener against Portsmouth.
Initially, there were worries about summer signing Jayden Bogle’s fitness after he left the pitch during the Valencia match on Saturday. However, Farke dispelled these concerns, expressing his excitement for the start of the new season.
Farke noted the rare occurrence of having all players fit for the first game, praising the physiotherapists, sports scientists, and players for their hard work during pre-season. He mentioned Bogle had suffered a dead leg but is now ready to play.
This news comes as a relief to Leeds fans, who can expect a full-strength side for their Championship campaign opener. The club enters the season as favorites to win the title, despite losing key players Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville.
Leeds retains several players from their relegated Premier League squad, which could prove beneficial in their promotion push. Farke has indicated he would like to make three more signings to strengthen the team further.
The focus now shifts to the upcoming match against Portsmouth, with Leeds aiming to start the season strongly and signal their intent to their Championship competitors.
