Leeds United make a quick return to their Championship promotion push with Saturday’s early kick-off at Huddersfield Town, ahead of which boss Daniel Farke held his pre-match press conference on Thursday.

Farke made five changes to his side for Wednesday night’s FA Cup fifth round clash at Chelsea who ultimately squeezed their way into the quarter-finals as Conor Gallagher’s 90th-minute winner sealed a 3-2 success. But Leeds impressed at Stamford Bridge and now face a quick turnaround for Saturday’s league return in a lunchtime Yorkshire derby at relegation-battling Huddersfield.

After hotfooting it back from Chelsea, Farke held his pre-match press conference at 4pm on Thursday, at which there were injury updates on several Whites men. Farke revealed ahead of Wednesday night’s clash at Chelsea that both Georginio Rutter (hernia) and Ilia Gruev (hip flexor) had suffered setbacks in training, explaining their absences at Stamford Bridge. Jamie Shackleton was also set to start before falling unwell which led to Junior Firpo staying at left back.
