Leeds United's final six games of the regular Championship season begin at play-off chasing Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
Here are the key points from Leeds boss Daniel Farke's pre-match media conference:
- The German boss revealed defender Pascal Struijk (foot) will miss the game and Saturday's visit of Preston. If there is a fracture, his season will be over.
- Midfielder Joe Rothwell (calf) will hopefully be available for the final two games while Mateo Joseph has recovered from illness and is fit to play.
- It would not be "natural" to play Patrick Bamford from the start at his former club Boro after his "beneficial" cameo against Luton - his first appearance in three months - but Farke said the striker's availability was "always important".
- Farke says it is vital the "fire burns" within supporters and players during the "crunch time of the season" but that Leeds have to "stay calm and cool".
- He added he has to be "more there for the players" when they make mistakes and provide "some coolness" to "protect my players" from any negativity.
- The Leeds boss labelled Middlesbrough a "really good side" but added: "If we are ourselves we will be successful."
- Farke dismissed any notion of tiredness within the squad: "I'm not a believer in speaking about tiredness because if you speak about it, you feel it. I look at Jaidon Anthony at Burnley who's played nearly every game but got a brace (at Coventry on Saturday)."
