GOOD NEWS: “Just some cramps” Daniel Farke make clear aim towards doubtful fitness worry of Leeds United 7/10 rated Ace limp off against Hull City.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has provided a reassuring update on right-back Jayden Bogle after the team’s 2-0 victory over Hull City on Saturday. Bogle, a summer signing, continued his streak of starts for Leeds but appeared uncomfortable in the final stages of the match, eventually requiring treatment after pulling up.
Captain Ethan Ampadu assisted Bogle with some stretches, and although Bogle continued for a bit longer, he was eventually substituted in the 83rd minute for Sam Byram, raising concerns that he might be injured.
However, Farke clarified that Bogle was merely suffering from cramps after a demanding afternoon against Hull City’s tricky left-winger, Liam Millar. Farke noted that Millar had even caused problems for Archie Gray in two matches last season when Gray played for Preston North End.
When asked whether Bogle’s substitution was due to injury or fatigue, Farke responded, “No, just some cramps. It was an intense game, and he had to sprint a lot. We know how difficult it is to defend against Millar consistently. Even last season, although Archie Gray performed well in many games, he had some trouble against him. I was pleased to bring on Sam Byram with his experience, and it’s still important to keep him fit and available.”
