Daniel Farke's pre-match press conference took place at Thorp Arch on Friday afternoon before Leeds United host Watford in the Championship and this is what we learned
Daniel Farke faced the media at Thorp Arch on Friday afternoon as he looked ahead to the Championship clash between Leeds United and Watford on Saturday afternoon. The manager spoke for a little over 15 minutes at the training ground and here are the headlines from what we learned.News of Stuart Dallas’s return to full training emerged on Thursday night and Farke spoke at length about the Northern Ireland international in his briefing.
“Pretty delighted and happy for him and also the group, you could feel it,” said Farke. “Literally each and every player was outside to give him a warm welcome with a little stick to his head, it’s more like a little tradition. “Sadly bad news with him because he has done his lateral ankle ligament,” he said. “We wait for further assessment this afternoon, how long he will be out, but he will definitely not be available tomorrow.”Luke Ayling picked up a yellow card after being taken off on Wednesday night for interfering with the return of the match ball when it went out for a throw-in. There was more to that episode, though.
“Sorry. It makes no sense. Don’t risk this. He said ‘Yes, I probably made a mistake, I totally agree.’ Yes, but we can't argue against this yellow card. We have to accept this.”Traditionally, clubs will keep an eye on the players they have sent away on loan because they are younger and developing. The situation, as has been well documented, is different at Elland Road.
“It was also not the easiest week for him to come back into team training,” he said. “The next week will be quite beneficial because we have time on the training pitch and I expect him to be back in the mix for next week.”
