Daniel Farke has shared an injury update on his Leeds United squad ahead of the upcoming clash with Plymouth Argyle.

The Whites have been on the unlucky side with injuries so far this season and it appears as though their problems haven’t let up, despite a full week between matches.

Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Largie Ramazani and Max Wober were all absent at Bristol City last weekend, while Junior Firpo also missed out due to suspension.

Ampadu, Gruev and Ramazani all still have a number of weeks/months until they are back fully fit, though Max Wober is closing in on a return.

Firpo, meanwhile, will be back in Leeds’ squad against Plymouth this weekend but his return could coincide with the loss of a couple of others.

Farke shares injury update on Dan James and Patrick Bamford

Dan James and Patrick Bamford have both struggled with injuries so far this season and their doesn’t appear to be easing up.

James missed six matches in a row due to a hamstring injury, while Bamford has also been out for a handful of matches due to fitness issues.

And speaking in his pre-match press conference, Farke has revealed ‘late decisions’ will be taking on both places ahead of Plymouth.

James is once again struggling with his hamstring, while Bamford has had some problems with his adductor. As such, they have both missed parts of training this week.

He said: “Question mark over Joffy Gelhardt, got a hit on his hip yesterday so wasn’t able to train today. Two question marks behind Dan James (hamstring) and Patrick Bamford (adductor). Both involved today in a light session. Will make a late decision how they come through the session tomorrow.”

Max Wober could return for Leeds

In better news, Leeds could welcome some defensive cover back into the squad in Max Wober after almost two months out.

Farke confirmed Wober has been back in full team training this week and could be ready for some minutes on Saturday.

He said: “Mixed news, good news with Max Wober. Since Tuesday he’s back in parts of team training. Individual session, we still have to be careful. Could be involved before next international break. “
