Daniel Farke Leeds United press conference injury update as Spence returns but striker 'major doubt'

Leeds' Yorkshire rivals find themselves in the relegation zone after a difficult start to the season while Farke's United hope to put yet more pressure on the Championship's top two after cutting the gap to eight points in recent weeks.

Ipswich Town and Leicester City are locked on 39 points after 16 games, with Leeds averaging just under 2.00 points-per-game on 31 for the season so far. This weekend's encounter is an opportunity to put breathing room between themselves and the remainder of the chasing pack, several of whom are on 26 points or more.

Farke is expected to provide an injury and fitness update on those players who have remained at Thorp Arch during the international break, which includes Djed Spence, who is yet to kickstart his loan spell at Elland Road after picking up a knee injury two months ago.

All the updates here from Farke's press conference which is scheduled to begin at 1pm this afternoon.
