According to the Leeds United YouTube channel, Daniel Farke stated at his press conference on Friday that Djed Spence is in the “final stages” of his recovery. He also provided updates on Stuart Dallas and Junior Firpo.
After suffering a broken leg against Manchester City in April 2022, Dallas is still out of commission. Firpo has not played since we played our final game of the previous season, a 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
Since joining Leeds on loan from Spurs, Spence has only played once due to an injury sustained during practise. The latter is getting close to returning to training after an anticipated eight-week absence.
Dallas has been in and out of team practice in an effort to increase his level of fitness before returning to full senior training. Firpo is back in full training mode and may return to action soon. Farke made a comment.
Says Daniel Farke, Djed Spence is nearing the end of his rehab in Leeds
How encouraging this is. With the England U19 player currently playing on the right side of defense, it will enable Archie Gray to move back to the middle of the park. He was far from his best against Stoke. Not as successful.
However, Gray really pops in the middle of the park. Spence will be a huge asset to this Leeds team because he is a Premier League caliber player who is familiar with the Championship. It will take time for Dallas and Firpo.
They have been out for longer. Firpo will be a formidable opponent for the highly skilled Sam Byram, particularly at this level. Dallas enhances this side right away for a variety of reasons. I hope they return shortly.
