“Daniel Farke Provides Positive Injury Update on Manor Solomon After Luton Win”
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has assured fans that Manor Solomon is not dealing with any new injury concerns following Wednesday night’s 3-0 victory over Luton Town. The on-loan Tottenham winger, who has battled through a challenging 18 months of injuries, played the full 90 minutes for the first time since joining Leeds. Despite some fatigue, Farke confirmed that Solomon was simply struggling with cramp after the game, not a fresh injury.”
Manor is okay,” Farke stated in his post-match press conference. “Lots of load for him in the last few days. No injury. Felt like cramp.”
This update comes as a relief for Leeds fans, as Solomon’s confidence continues to grow following his brace against Swansea and his standout performances for the club.
“Farke Faces Big Dilemma Over Leeds United’s Starting Wingers Ahead of Blackburn Clash”
Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke has a tough decision to make ahead of Saturday’s match against Blackburn Rovers. With competition for places heating up in the wide positions, Farke will have to choose between in-form wingers Wilfried Gnonto, Dan James, and Manor Solomon.
Gnonto, who netted the winner at Swansea, played just over an hour against Luton Town, while James came off the bench to score once again. Solomon, who recently scored a brace against Swansea, completed the full 90 minutes in midweek.
Farke’s dilemma is choosing the right combination to maintain momentum while keeping his key players fresh for the crucial trip to Ewood Park. Will he stick with the current setup or rotate his wingers to keep them all sharp? The decision could have a big impact on Leeds’ quest for another three points.
“Farke’s Dilemma: Who Starts for Leeds Against Blackburn with Solomon, Gnonto, James, and Ramazani All in the Mix?”
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke faces a tricky decision over his starting wingers ahead of Saturday’s trip to Blackburn Rovers. After Manor Solomon netted a brace against Swansea, and with Largie Ramazani now fit again, Farke has multiple options to choose from. However, Farke confirmed on Monday that it will be “a while” before Ramazani is ready to start a game, meaning he’s unlikely to feature in the starting XI just yet.
Solomon, who played 70 minutes on Sunday and the full 90 minutes against Luton, may be given a well-deserved rest for Saturday’s match, especially considering his recent workload. This leaves the most likely pairing of Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James to start on the wings, with both players in strong form.
Farke’s selection will aim to maintain momentum and ensure fresh legs as Leeds look to continue their promotion push at Ewood Park.
