This weekend, Leeds United will concentrate on returning to winning ways and taking on Wolves, who appear to be a relegation rival.

Deep into extra time, Gabriel Gudmundsson’s header went into his own goal, resulting in Leeds’ heartbreaking away loss to Fulham on Saturday, their first Premier League game back.

Daniel Farke is focused on making an early six-pointer away at Wolves, so he doesn’t have much time to think about what might have happened at Craven Cottage.

Daniel Farke shares injury update for Leeds United’s Dan James following Fulham loss

Leeds’ offensive has been the subject of much discussion thus far, since they have only scored once in four games, that being a contentious penalty against Everton in game one.

With a solid defense and no killing instinct up top, it was the same tale versus Fulham. This week at Molineux, something needs to change.

Joel Piroe’s and Lukas Nmecha’s pregame injury concerns were exacerbated when substitute Dan James was also knocked down. James was substituted for Willy Gnonto 12 minutes after being brought on in the 77th minute.

 

After full-time, Farke told the YEP, “The plan was to use a bit more rested Daniel James on the counter with his pace to make things happen.” Unfortunately, he was hit in the body, so we had to replace him. This is a very unfortunate situation, and I hope it doesn’t get too worse. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious so he can be available shortly.

Ben Dinnery of Premier Injuries says that James has a 50% chance of playing against Wolves at Molineux this weekend as a result of this setback.

Ao Tanaka will probably be back to normal after another week of recuperation. Meanwhile, Lucas Perri will not play on Saturday due to his two-game absence.

 

Dan James injury update means Willy Gnonto surely starts this weekend

Now that there are no open play goals, there is much discussion about how Farke will improve this dry attacking setting.

Willy Gnonto, Noah Okafor out wide, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front, in my opinion, are now practically unassailable.

Leeds will score if they can get that front three to gel. Using guys like James during the break may then have disastrous results.

Wolves is already a game that has to be won.
