Daniel Farke says Jaidon Anthony is available for Leeds on Friday wish is big boost for the team ahead of crucial game…

Daniel Farke has shared some good news concerning Jaidon Anthony ahead of Leeds United’s clash with Leicester City on Friday night.

Leeds face what could be a season-defining game at Elland Road. Following our win over Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, and Leicester’s defeat to Middlesbrough later in the day, we could now move to within six points of the Foxes with a victory.

Unfortunately, Leeds were without Jaidon Anthony for the trip to Home Park. Phil Hay suggested that Anthony was missing out due to personal reasons.

Of course, it has been an awful time for the winger away from the pitch. So it was a real shame to hear why he was not involved against the Pilgrims.

 

But speaking in his press conference today, Daniel Farke suggested that the Bournemouth loanee is in contention to play a part against the league leaders ahead of the weekend.

“Jaidon Anthony’s back in training, also available for [Friday], good news. Also Karl [Darlow] is back in main parts of team training. Definitely not far away,” he said.

Big boost for Whites

Anthony may not be overly happy with the game-time that he has had since arriving in the summer. It looked to be a real coup to land the 24-year-old as Luis Sinisterra departed for the Vitality Stadium.
