Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is expected to ring the changes ahead of their crucial clash with Bournemouth this weekend, as the Whites aim to bounce back from recent inconsistency. According to team news emerging from Thorp Arch, two alterations are likely to be made to the starting XI that faltered last time out.
The most eye-catching decision is the reported omission of £25m striker Georginio Rutter, who is set to drop to the bench after a run of underwhelming displays. Farke is believed to be considering a more direct option up front, with Joel Piroe pushing for a recall. This tactical switch could provide Leeds with a sharper edge in the final third, something they have been lacking in recent weeks.
Elsewhere, Archie Gray is tipped to return to the midfield at the expense of Glen Kamara, adding energy and creativity in the middle of the park. Defensively, Leeds are likely to remain unchanged, with Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk continuing at centre-back.
With promotion ambitions and consistency on the line, Farke’s selection will be under close scrutiny. Dropping Rutter is a bold call, but one that could reignite Leeds’ attacking threat.
