Max Wober continues his path back to fitness after Austrian media said Wober was suffering from “knee problems” while on international duty. Farke said Joe Rodon has missed a couple of sessions this week.
The Wales star is back in training but it is unclear if he will be given the all-clear to start on Saturday when Leeds go up against Cardiff. But if Rodon and Wober are unavailable, then it could leave Leeds lacking.
It might mean that Farke has to turn to the Leeds academy to potentially provide some depth in the middle of the defence, and he is catering for that this week in training by calling up a 20-year-old player.
Farke calls up Jeremiah Mullen to first-team Leeds training
Mullen has been in and around the senior side on a number of occasions, playing against Manchester United in Oslo in Farke’s first pre-season game after taking on the role as Leeds manager back in 2023.
Mullen is fresh from helping Scotland’s U21 side smash Malta 5-0 in the previous international break having been on the receiving end of a Mateo Joseph winner against Spain, and is a regular for Leeds’ 21’s.
He has also been on the senior bench three times, once under Michael Skubala and twice with interim boss Sam Allardyce. In the latest training video on LUTV, Mullen is clearly seen with his hair quite striking.
