Frustrating news for “Farke” : Leeds hit with two late fitness concerns before Southampton

Leeds United has received additional potentially negative news ahead of their match against

Southampton in the shape of injury concerns. This means that automatic promotion is no longer in

their control and is now firmly in the hands of Ipswich Town.

In 2021, the manager of Liverpool stated through the Metro:

“I recall hearing on talkSPORT prior to the season that people were saying, ‘Leeds need a proper goalscorer, Bamford is not good enough.'”

“I’m happy that he was able to disprove their assertions; he is a terrific player. The
