Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says he and his staff will make a late decision on whether to field Sam Byram for the third time in seven days, owing to the homegrown defender’s injury history.
Byram has come through the last couple of matches unscathed, aside from a few bumps and scrapes that could simply be described as an occupational hazard. The 30-year-old returned to Leeds over the summer initially on a trial basis but earned a one-year contract at his boyhood club after impressing Farke and his staff during pre-season fixtures.
Those performances have translated to the Championship and after making a number of appearances at left-back, has unofficially nailed down a starting spot on that flank, in light of Junior Firpo and Stuart Dallas’ prolonged absences. The club have monitored Byram’s minutes and workload carefully, endeavouring to limit risk factors which could potentially lead to injury and spells on the sidelines.
