This weekend sees Leeds United confront Derby County at Elland Road, where the away team will be missing midfield duo Ebou Adams and David Ozoh, adding to their woes as they aim to recover from a recent loss at Ewood Park.
Daniel Farke’s squad is eager to maintain their exceptional home performance when they face Derby County, despite facing some injury setbacks of their own. The Rams, placed 15th and struggling away from home, arrive as underdogs and with their own midfield crisis as they look to secure a positive result in West Yorkshire.
Leeds, albeit dealing with selection dilemmas due to recent injuries, have received a significant boost with Ethan Ampadu returning to full team training after a lengthy absence. On the flip side, they await news on Junior Firpo’s fitness after a training knock and have ongoing issues with other defensive players like Sam Byram and Isaac Schmidt.
The absence of key players Ebou Adams and David Ozoh will impact Paul Warne’s plans for Derby County, making their task of challenging Leeds even more daunting. With a home win expected for Leeds against lower-ranked opponents, a victory could see them edge closer to an automatic promotion spot in the Championship.
