Daniel Farke reveals concerning Leeds injury updates with key calls still to be made ahead of the Liverpool clash.

A significant Premier League clash unfolds at Elland Road tonight as Liverpool aim to rebuild momentum after a spell of inconsistent results.

Leeds squad concerns ahead of Liverpool visit
Leeds United enter the match buoyed by a 3-1 win over Chelsea, but Daniel Farke’s latest injury update, via Liverpoolfc.com, highlights the strain on his squad.

Farke confirmed that Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are unavailable, while Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will undergo late assessments.
“We have to make some late calls,” he said, noting Nmecha’s “hamstring problems” and uncertainty over Calvert-Lewin’s fitness.

He also pointed to the physical toll recent fixtures have taken: “We have players with a lot of load… especially in those high-intensity positions.”

After a 3-2 loss to Manchester City and a win over Chelsea, Leeds now face their third match in seven days against top-four opponents—a demanding run Liverpool will hope to capitalise on.

Liverpool looking to build on recent results
For Liverpool, the match is a key chance to settle things after a late own goal salvaged a point against Sunderland. Florian Wirtz’s deflected strike spared the Reds from another poor home result.

Arne Slot provided his own update, announcing Conor Bradley’s return and expecting Joe Gomez to train.

However, the build-up has been overshadowed by criticism of Slot following his comments regarding Harvey Elliott’s situation at Aston Villa, with some accusing him of poor man-management.

Even so, tonight offers a major opening. Liverpool sit ninth with 22 points, while Leeds arrive stretched and fatigued. Farke himself admitted his players will need to “go over the limit,” a situation that could create opportunities for the Reds.

With Inter Milan looming in midweek, a strong display at Elland Road would set the tone ahead of a crucial spell in the season.
