Sorry, Ole! Michael Carrick is the right choice for Man Utd interim job rather than Solskjaer

Sebastiaan Bornauw - Suffers minor groin injury Bornauw was forced off at the break in Sunday's victory in the Carabao Cup due to a minor groin injury, coach Daniel Farke said in a press conference, according to Leeds Live. "I t...

Impact Bornauw will have to be assessed in the coming days after suffering a minor groin injury in Sunday's win in the Carabao Cup. The issue appears to be minor and he will hope to recover before Saturday's clash against Fulham since he has started three of his last appearances with Leeds United. Joe Rodon will take a larger role in the back-three if the injury proves to be more serious than expected.

Sean Longstaff - Plays 17 minutes Longstaff (calf) appeared for 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 3-1 win over Derby County.

Impact Longstaff returned to play in FA Cup action Sunday, appearing later in the match from the bench after last appearing Nov. 23. This is massive news, as the midfielder was a starter before the injury, now ready for league action moving forward. He will look to add to his one goal and two assists this season, likely to return to a starting role next match.

Lucas Perri - Concedes four in loss Perri recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against Newcastle United.

Impact Perri conceded more than three goals for a second time in 16 appearances on the season. On the other hand, this was the sixth time in that span that he accounted for at least three saves. Up next in league play for Leeds United is a meeting with Fulham on January 17.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Tallies goal and assist in loss Calvert-Lewin scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 loss versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...

Impact This marked the second time in 19 appearances on the season where Calvert-Lewin delivered multiple goal contributions, while the assist marked his first of the campaign. This was the second consecutive and eighth time this season that he registered at least three shots. This was also the first time in three outings that he delivered a chance created, but he is up to a total of 13 chances created on the season.

Ilia Gruev - Dishes assist Gruev assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Newcastle United.

Impact Gruev earned his first goal contribution of the season, as he set up Brenden Aaronson, who buried a shot from the right side of the box in the 79th minute. This also marked the third straight game where Gruev racked up at least 30 completed passes. On the defensive side, he was solid with two tackles won and three interceptions.

Sean Longstaff - Held out at Newcastle Longstaff (calf) was held out of the squad in Wednesday's loss against Newcastle. According to manager Daniel Farke, "It would have been an amazing atmosphere for him to be back at...

Impact Longstaff made the bench against Man United in more of a leadership role, implying that he's still not fully recovered from his calf injury. There's still a chance he sees minutes in the FA Cup game and even if not, the odds seem good that he will fully be an option for the Jan. 17 league game against Fulham. In his absence, Farke has moved to five defenders, which means consistent minutes for Longstaff may be a little more difficult once he fully returns.

Jayden Bogle - Won't play in FA Cup Bogle (calf) won't be an option for Sunday's FA Cup match against Derby County, manager Daniel Farke told media Thursday. "Don't think Bogle will be a topic. Not back in team train...

Impact Bogle has been sidelined for the last two matches, and he won't have the chance to return in the FA Cup. His next chance to feature will come in the EPL against Fulham on Jan. 17, but if he's out, expect James Justin to continue playing at right-back.

Sam Byram - Dealing with back injury Byram is dealing with a back injury and is uncertain to play Sunday at Derby County in the FA Cup, Daniel Farke told media Thursday.

Impact Byram is nursing a back injury but was an unused sub in the 4-3 loss to Newcastle United on Wednesday. The defender won't offer much fantasy upside, as he's logged just seven minutes all season in the EPL.

Brenden Aaronson's Brace Not Enough To Overcome Late Drama vs. Newcastle

Brenden Aaronson - Scores twice, leaves with injury Aaronson scored two goals but was subbed off with an apparent muscular issue during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Aaronson was unable to continue playing after finding the back of the net from both inside and outside the box in the 32nd and 79th minutes, respectively, of this match. It remains unclear whether the attacker picked up a significant problem, so he'll attempt to recover ahead of the upcoming FA Cup and EPL activity. However, the event of his absence could be a crucial blow to the squad, while his substitute in Wednesday's clash Wilfried Gnonto could be a possible beneficiary of the playing time he would miss.

Joe Rodon - Leaves with discomfort Wednesday Rodon was forced to leave Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Newcastle due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Rodon limped off after suffering some pain in the final minutes of the midweek duel, which was his first start since recovering from an ankle issue. It's unclear if he's dealing with a new injury or a setback, and his status is currently in doubt for the short term. Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk played alongside him in the back line Wednesday and should be the top options to feature, with Sebastian Bornauw available to fill in if Rodon is sidelined again.

Jayden Bogle - Still out against Newcastle Bogle (calf) is not in the squad to face Newcastle on Wednesday.

Impact Bogle failed to recover despite being hopeful to reappear in this game. He'll miss his second straight contest, limiting his side's potential on the right flank while James Justin continues to feature in his place. It remains unclear if Bogle will be an option for the subsequent FA Cup visit to Derby County.

Joe Rodon - Starting Wednesday Rodon (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Newcastle.

Impact Rodon has bounced back from a two-game injury absence and should feature as part of a back three alongside Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol in the midweek match. Rodon was reliable in terms of defensive stats before his issue, as he tallied more than four clearances in 12 of his previous 15 starts.

Sean Longstaff - Will build fitness Longstaff will build his fitness in the coming week after staying on the bench in the draw against Manchester City.

Impact Longstaff was out six weeks with a muscle injury and despite returning to the bench last game, wasn't asked to take the pitch. Daniel Farke hinted that Longstaff may start the FA Cup match against Derby, as he's still not ready to start in the Premier League. Prior to injury, he turned into a regular starter and set-piece taker, something he'll have to win back given the recent form of Leeds.

Next Manchester United Manager: Why Mauricio Pochettino Is A Dark Horse Candidate

Sebastiaan Bornauw - Three clearances in draw Bornauw recorded one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Impact With Joe Rodon (ankle) unavailable, Bornauw has started the last two matches after playing just two minutes all season, delivering steady defensive performances. He recorded one tackle per game and added three interceptions and nine clearances across the two appearances.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jaka Bijol - Season high four interceptions Bijol had one tackle (zero won), eight clearances and four interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Impact Bijol played a strong defensive game, leading the team with eight clearances and a season-high four interceptions, while also contributing two blocks and one tackle. Over his last seven games, the defender has recorded nine tackles with at least one in each match except one, 12 interceptions with at least one in every game but one and 41 clearances with a minimum of three in each outing.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Struijk - Registers first assist Struijk assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Struijk recorded his first assist of the season as his ball was found by Brenden Aaronson, resulting in the team's lone goal. He also produced a season-high three tackles won and three interceptions, along with four clearances, accumulating 55 clearances in his last nine matches.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Brenden Aaronson - Scores one goal in draw Aaronson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Impact Aaronson opened the scoring with a well-taken finish to record his second goal of the season. Across his last eight starts, he has contributed to four goals, totaling two goals and two assists from 14 shot attempts and 10 chances created.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Perri - One save in draw Perri recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Perri was not heavily tested but produced a strong save to deny Leny Yoro and could do little about the goal conceded. He has allowed four goals across his last five appearances with one clean sheet against Liverpool, an improvement from the 15 goals conceded in the previous six matches without a shutout as Leeds' defense has improved. He now faces a difficult test Wednesday against Newcastle United.
