Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United press conference live: Daniel Farke provides fresh injury update

United's early kick-off against Rovers this weekend gives Farke and his players the opportunity to apply additional pressure on the teams above them in the Championship table, should they secure a win at Ewood Park.

Leeds trail second-place Ipswich Town by seven points, but that figure could be cut to just four by the time the Tractor Boys take on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Table-topping Leicester City remain a single point ahead of the Suffolk side, and eight clear of Leeds but have stumbled in recent weeks and relied on a 94th-minute winner from Harry Winks to see off West Bromwich Albion last time out. They host Plymouth Argyle at the King Power Stadium in their next outing.

Farke's squad has boasted a largely clean bill of health throughout the campaign, the German able to call upon his favoured front four and midfield pairing in the vast majority of Leeds' fixtures. The United boss is expected to provide a fresh injury update on Thursday afternoon as he faces reporters and questions regarding this weekend's trip to Lancashire.

Updates from Farke's presser landing here from 1:30pm and throughout the afternoon.
