Leeds face Stoke City at home on Tuesday night following their recent match against Huddersfield. Manager Daniel Farke provided updates on the squad, mentioning that two players will be sidelined for the game, with another player’s participation pending a late decision.
Farke acknowledged the typical wear and tear of matches, emphasizing the team’s readiness despite minor injuries. He stated that Jaidon Anthony will miss the game due to personal reasons, while Jamie Shackleton is ruled out due to concussion protocol. Shackleton will also miss the subsequent game against Sheffield Wednesday as per protocol guidelines. Junior Firpo’s availability is uncertain due to a calf issue he picked up in the last match, and the team won’t take risks with his fitness to prevent further injury.
As for Ipswich Town, there hasn’t been any fresh update on the squad since their previous game against Plymouth Argyle. However, attacking players Wes Burns and Nathan Brodhead are unlikely to feature due to muscle strains. Conor Chaplin overcame a knee cut to participate in the previous game, while Kieffer Moore, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Lewis Travis were substituted during the match, but there are no indications of injury concerns for them.
Meanwhile, Leicester City is preparing for their upcoming fixture against Sunderland, aiming to bounce back from their recent defeats. Manager Enzo Maresca revealed injury setbacks, with Ricardo Pereira expected to be sidelined until after the international break due to a muscle injury. Dennis Praet’s injury further depletes midfield options, although Wilfred Ndidi is nearing a return. Jannik Vestergaard will serve the final game of his suspension, while Ben Nelson could feature after an impressive performance in the previous match. With crucial fixtures approaching, Leicester City remains focused on getting back to winning ways amidst their injury woes.
