GAME LOG

Available against Villa Firpo (knee) is fit and ready for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "Junior has got more and more fit and healthy and ready to contribute."
Impact Firpo has yet to feature with the senior squad this season but has seen minutes with the youth setup as he recovers from his knee issue. Given the international break, there's a chance Firpo makes an immediate return to the starting XI Sunday, taking the spot of Pascal Struijk at left-back. Even if that doesn't happen right away, Firpo figures to hold down that spot once ready.

Plays with U21s Firpo (knee) started and went 76 minutes in Friday's match with the U21s.
Impact Firpo has been edging closer to fitness and it appears like he'll be ready to play with the senior team after the international break. While Pascal Struijk has played well there this season, Firpo is a more natural fit and likely to take up that role once ready to go.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Getting closer to return Firpo (knee) is "maybe a week or two away," according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact This is the expected timeline for Firpo, who suffered an MCL injury more than a month ago. He'll need at least a week of full training before he's considered for the squad and then he'll probably get minutes off the bench before being given a start. Pascal Struijk has played well at left-back to open the campaign, but Firpo figures to steal that role.
AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains couple weeks away Firpo had a recent scan on his knee and is two or three weeks away from the pitch, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Firpo suffered an MCL injury a few weeks ago and fortunately it looks like he's ahead of schedule. That still means Leeds will be without a true left-back to open the campaign, as early signs point to Pascal Struijk starting in that position against Wolves and Southampton, at a minimum.

Suffers MCL injury Firpo will miss the next eight weeks after suffering an MCL injury in last week's friendly, manager Jesse Marsch revealed to reporters. "We're hopeful that it's a little bit faster...
Impact Firpo missed multiple sets of matches last season because of injury and it's another one that'll keep him out at least the first month of the season. It's a tough way to start the season for a team that dealt with numerous issues last season and now Marsch will have to decide on his left-back with Leif Davis, Jack Harrison and Pascal Struijk being options at the moment.
JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ends season healthy Firpo started four of the final five matches of the season at left-back and finished with two assists from 24 league appearances (19 starts).
Impact Firpo was usually in the starting XI when healthy, but numerous injuries derailed his numbers from looking better. When he was available, Stuart Dallas moved up in the formation and when he was out, Dallas started at left-back. That being the case, Firpo isn't guaranteed to be a regular going forward given some of his defensive missteps.

Second assist of season Firpo had an assist while crossing twice inaccurately, creating two chances, making an interception, five tackles (winning four) and two clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Arse...
Impact Firpo set up Diego Llorente in the 66th minute assisting Leeds' lone goal. The assist was the second of the season for the fullback as he finished with team-high totals in chances created, interceptions and tackles in the loss.

Still working on fitness Firpo (knee) continues to work on his fitness, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "We've worked with Junior Firpo a lot in the last few days and we're hopeful of getting him fitter...
Impact Firpo was on the bench last week but didn't play, so the team is taking a slow approach with his return. Before being given a start, he'll likely come off the bench in an upcoming match and even then, there's no guarantee Marsch will want him in the starting XI over the final stretch given the team's play of late.
APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On bench against Crystal Palace Firpo (knee) will be available as a substitute versus Crystal Palace on Monday.
Impact Firpo is back in the squad for the first time since March 10 against Aston Villa, a stretch of four matches on the sidelines. If the defender comes through Monday's matchup without suffering any setbacks, he could be in the mix to reclaim his place in the starting XI against Manchester City on Saturday.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Given 3-5 week timeline Firpo will miss three-to-five weeks from the time of his knee injury, according to manager Jesse Marsch.
Impact Firpo suffered the injury March 10, so there's a chance he's back over the international break or a couple weeks later. He'd started four-straight matches prior to injury and his absence meant that Stuart Dallas had to return to left-back in the most recent contest.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Injured against Villa Firpo picked up a knee injury in Thursday's loss against Aston Villa, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "We don't yet but it's probably something on the inside of his knee like an...
Impact Leeds made three early substitutions, so Firpo couldn't be subbed off Thursday, as he was given a full 90 in the match sheet despite being taken off on a stretcher with about 15 minutes to go. It's another injury for Leeds and one that will again force them to reassess the back line, possibly moving Stuart Dallas to that left-back role again.

Impact Firpo was terrific off the bench in the drubbing by the Red Devils on Sunday. The wingback has not shown much of his potential since his move from Barcelona, but he truly shined here. Not only did he offer offensive support, but he also stood strong against United's speedsters on the wing. If he can continue playing like this, he may begin to see more starting time.
FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Makes match day squad Firpo is fit and in the match day squad to face Manchester United on Sunday.
Impact Firpo returns after dealing with a hamstring issue in the buildup to the match. The wide man starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.
FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pictured in training Firpo (hamstring) was pictured in training Wednesday ahead of Sunday's match against Manchester United.
Impact Firpo is in a race to reach fitness ahead of Sunday's match after missing the last month with a hamstring injury. Marcelo Bielsa usually doesn't force players back too soon from injury, but with Leo Hjelde maybe the only other option at left-back, Firpo could get the start Sunday.
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Saturday Firpo (hamstring) will be held out against Everton on Saturday. Manager Marcelo Bielsa told reporters, "Firpo is healthy but we are not going to anticipate his return [this weekend...
Impact It sounds like if the club were in a pinch, Firpo could be in the squad Saturday but Leeds will take a conservative approach to reinserting him back into the squad. Prior to his absence, the left-back had started each of his previous five outings in which he generated 12 tackles (eight won), 11 clearances and three shots (one on target). Once cleared to play, Firpo should push to take back his spot on the pitch.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
In final stages of recovery Firpo (hamstring) is in the final stages of recovery and could be available this weekend or the next, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact It looks like a regular hamstring injury for Firpo, which is usually around a timeline of a month. While he's yet another absence to the side, Leeds now have the bodies to put together a complete back line, as Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas are expected to continue at full-back until Firpo is ready to return.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doubt to face Newcastle Firpo (hamstring) is unlikely to be an option Saturday against Newcastle, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact Bielsa didn't say Firpo was out, but he did say the defender had a "muscular injury." It's assumed he'll be out Saturday, which is less than a week after suffering the injury. Fortunately for Leeds, Diego Llorente is back from suspension and will likely be in the XI in place of Firpo.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leaves with hamstring issue Firpo was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match with West Ham due to a hamstring injury.
Impact Firpo lasted just 23 minutes, one of two leads players succumbing to hamstring injuries in the first half. The severity of the fullback's injury should be determined ahead of Leeds' match with Newcastle next week.
JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starting on Sunday Firpo is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against West Ham.
Impact Firpo returns after leaving Leeds' FA Cup match in mid week with an injury. The fullback returns to take up a role on the flank for Leeds during Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham.
JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Comes off injured in FA Cup Firpo was subbed out of Sunday's FA Cup defeat against West Ham in the 69th minute after suffering a possible concussion.
Impact The severity of Firpo's injury is unknown as of yet, but he has a week to recover before Leeds' next Premier League game, also against West Ham. Cody Drameh replaced him at left back/left midfield on Sunday.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Available for Liverpool clash Firpo (suspension) is available for Sunday's match versus Liverpool.
Impact Firpo's return should be a massive boost for the huge clash with the Reds. In terms of fantasy though after 16 goals allowed in merely four outings the defender should be well avoided in most formats.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Booked in defeat Firpo made a clearance, an interception and created a chance in Tuesday's 7-0 defeat against Manchester City. He also received his fifth yellow card of the Premier League season.
Impact Firpo will be suspended for Saturday's clash against Arsenal for yellow card accumulation. Leeds have plenty of injuries at defense at the moment, and might have to fill Firpo's left back spot with a midfielder for the game.
DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Should return against Spurs Firpo (strain) is "healthy" and "needs" minutes ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Impact At this point, there's a chance Firpo starts and goes a full 90 or completely misses the squad. Bielsa has been extremely cryptic with his updates, as Firpo has been given this label the last couple matches. However, this time he had the international break to recover, so he may be more likely to make the squad Sunday.
