Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference ahead of Monday night's trip to face Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Whites' boss faces questions this afternoon but none more pressing than the status of defender Pascal Struijk, whose hamstring injury has been re-scanned this week.

Struijk sat out the last two Leeds matches after featuring prominently during the first 25 games of the Championship season. Leeds' medical department needed to ascertain whether a tendon in Struijk's leg had also been damaged but were unable to determine this due to fluid and swelling in the area at the time of his initial assessment.

The vice-captain is an important player for Leeds and is anticipated to spend three weeks out of action whilst the hamstring recovers. However, if the tendon is in play, it could be up to three months before the Dutch defender is back on the pitch.

Due to the disparity in those timelines, Farke admitted last week it was possible Leeds would enter the transfer market for a central defender, if the worst-case scenario presented itself following the re-scan.

Farke's press conference, in which he is expected to detail Struijk's condition, takes place at 4pm this afternoon. Stay tuned for all text updates here.
