Leeds United vs Norwich City: Daniel Farke's injuries, team news and transfers update

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke faces the media once again this afternoon in what is a quick turnaround from Sunday lunchtime's win over Preston North End, before facing old employers Norwich City on Wednesday night.

Leeds are back at Elland Road in just over 24 hours, which means we return to Thorp Arch to hear from manager Daniel Farke as the Whites look to keep their momentum from the weekend.

United have begun 2024 with four consecutive victories in the Championship and FA Cup, but have never started a calendar year with five straight wins, which would be some feat given the rigours of this year's campaign.

Leeds host the Canaries on Wednesday evening which pits two former Premier League coaches against each other in Farke and David Wagner. Both have occupied the managerial hotseat at Carrow Road, albeit with varying success, and will be keen to get one over on the other for vastly different reasons in midweek.

Follow what Farke has to say this afternoon while he conducts his pre-match media duties. Updates here from 1:30pm.

Two form teams

While Leeds have picked up the second-most points of any Championship side in the last 14 matches, Norwich are hot on their heels.

Here's how that table looks, courtesy of the Not The Top 20 podcast.

Pascal still out

Hope to hear of more positive news regarding Pascal Struijk's return to training today, but Farke did state in his pre-Preston press conference last week that it was unlikely the Dutchman would be available for Wednesday night's game, or against Plymouth in the FA Cup Fourth Round this weekend.

Farke and his staff welcome Norwich to Elland Road tomorrow, with whom they were rather successful.

New contract?

Farke is likely to be asked about reports linking Willy Gnonto with a new Leeds deal today.

The manager has stated he will only speak about business once it is complete, therefore may be reluctant to provide an insight into negotiations. However, if reports are wide of the mark, rest assured he'll set the record straight.

Although, we don't foresee that happening, let's just say...
