Daniel Farke's Leeds United press conference recap: New injury revealed, Manor Solomon still out and team news

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference this afternoon ahead of Coventry City's visit to Elland Road on Saturday.

The Whites have taken three victories from their first six matches and face 19th-place Coventry this weekend, seeking to make it four from seven.

Leeds ran out 2-0 winners over the Championship's basement side Cardiff City last Saturday but made hard work of the contest despite dominating possession, only scoring their second, three-point-clinching goal in the 88th minute through substitute Joel Piroe.

There have been calls for the Dutchman to return to the starting line-up as a centre-forward in place of Mateo Joseph who has one goal in six starts this season, however the young Spaniard has added three assists to his goal contributions tally so far and is likely to remain in situ.

Leeds' victory in South Wales came without on-loan summer signing Manor Solomon who missed out with a back injury, which allowed Largie Ramazani to find the back of the net on his first start for the club. Farke is expected to provide a full injury update, including the latest on Solomon's condition.
