Daniel Farke provides Leeds United team news for Everton opener with Jayden Bogle update — YEP 15/8/25

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has held his first pre-match press conference of the new Premier League season.

Whites boss Daniel Farke has provided his Leeds United team news for Monday night’s Premier League opener against Everton and a Jayden Bogle update.

Clear first choice right back Bogle missed his side’s last two pre-season friendlies of the summer due to a hip flexor issue, casting doubt on the defender’s availability for the first game of the new campaign.

Speaking after last weekend’s 1-1 draw against AC Milan, Farke said he was hopeful that Bogle would be able to return to training this week whilst readily admitting that missing all of the last two warm up games was not ideal.

Five days on, Farke said at Friday’s pre-match press conference that a late decision would be taken on Bogle who was spart integrated into team training for the first time on Wednesday and will join full training on Friday,

“It will be a late decision on Jayden,” said Farke.

“He was outstanding last season for us and pre-season as well, but he’s been out for two and a half weeks with his injury.

“He was part integrated into team training for the first time on Wednesday. This afternoon he will join us in team training, first time for the full session. It depends how his body reacts.

“Thank God we have four more sessions and then we will see. If he comes though these four sessions he’s a topic for the squad. For how many minutes we’ll see. His overall fitness is on a top level because he played so many games, had a good pre-season, not ideal, been out for two and a half weeks but still a good chance for Monday.”

Lucas Perri (hamstring), Dan James (light issues) and Jack Harrison (adductor) all returned from minor injuries to feature in last weekend’s final friendly against Milan for which Sebastiaan Bornauw was the other absentee alongside Bogle as he recovers from a calf strain.

Bornauw suffered the injury in his new team’s first training session of their Germany training camp, consequently missing both behind-closed-doors games in Germany and also the friendlies against Villarreal and AC Milan.

Farke had been hoping that Bornauw would also return to training this week and the Whites boss confirmed on Friday that the defender had been back in team training from the start of the week.

Farke, though, will be without new centre-back Jaka Bijol who serves a one-match ban for the red card he picked up in his final Serie A game for Udinese.

Huge Leeds United transfer boost as 'personal terms agreed' with £17m midfielder after Sean Longstaff — YEP 16/7/25

-
By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...
