Leeds United are already two games away from nightmare three-fold scenario
Joe Rodon, Wilfried Gnonto and Jayden Bogle are already walking the disciplinary tightrope with 11 Leeds United games until the five-yellow cut-off
Six Leeds United players have question marks hanging over their availability as they head to Sunderland for Friday night’s Championship clash. Ethan Ampadu, Daniel James, Manor Solomon and Max Wober are definitely out, while Ilia Gruev is extremely doubtful pending a knee scan and Isaac Schmidt has the best chance of returning to the squad.
With a third game in six days to come and the doubts mounting, it has been a testing week for Daniel Farke. The international break will offer a chance to reset and allow the few players not travelling away with their countries a chance to rest aching limbs.
Aside from injuries, the great threat to player selection for Farke is suspension. Thankfully, there have been no red cards shown to his players yet, but the yellows continue to tick over.
The Whites are eighth in the disciplinary league table on 19 yellow cards, the same as Derby County and Luton Town. Portsmouth and Preston North End, for context, have the most with 26 and Middlesbrough have had the fewest at just 10 cautions.
