Leeds United Squad Unveiled for Wolves Clash as Daniel Farke Faces Critical Selection Decisions
Leeds United head to Molineux to face a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League without a point so far this season.
After much focus on the goalkeeper situation in the buildup to the Fulham game, Karl Darlow’s strong showing has quieted any doubts about who should start between the posts, while Lucas Perri remains sidelined for at least another week.
Now, Daniel Farke’s attention turns to Leeds’ misfiring attack and selection dilemmas on the wings, with Dan James (core muscle) and Willy Gnonto (calf) both doubts for the Wolves trip. This opens up opportunities for Ao Tanaka and Joel Piroe, both of whom are pushing for a place in the starting XI.
The potential absence of key wide players may see Farke adjust his attacking setup, possibly pairing Noah Okafor and Brenden Aaronson on either side of Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a three-man forward line, hoping to spark some creativity against the struggling Wolves side. Midfielders will also need to step up, and Tanaka could be called into action, though regaining a regular starting spot may prove difficult for him at this stage.
Leeds United Squad vs Wolves:
Darlow, Meslier, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Bijol, Gudmundsson, Byram, Ampadu, Tanaka, Longstaff, Stach, James, Aaronson, Harrison, Gnonto, Piroe, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
