Injury Expert: Leeds Star May Need Late Fitness Test Before Cardiff City Match
Dan James Might Need Late Fitness Test to Play for Leeds United Against Cardiff City on September 21, Says Dr. Rajpal Brar
Injury expert Brar suggests that Daniel James’ setback doesn’t appear to be serious, and the timing of the last game likely just came too soon for him.
Before Leeds’ loss to Burnley, manager Daniel Farke expressed hope that the Welshman would be fit in time for the match.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Science, said:
“His injury doesn’t seem overly serious based on the comments from both the player and the manager.
It looks like the plan was for him to return after the international break, but the first game back might have been too soon.
The best updates come from the club, but he may be a game-time decision for the next match and could need a late fitness test.”
Dan James adds a unique element to Leeds United’s attack.
The 26-year-old has been a key option for Farke this season and was similarly important last season, appearing in 43 league games.
His contributions were significant, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists.
Leeds will be hoping he can make a similar impact this season, as the team has struggled with finishing in the final third.
James’ return could help guide Leeds towards their promotion goals.
