00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has confirmed that winger Dan James is in line to play over the Easter weekend, although other players will not feature because of injury. Leeds are on the cusp now of promotion back to the Premier League.
00:16Yes, Joe Roswell will definitely miss this weekend's games. We hope to have him then available obviously for the last final home game against Bristol.
00:28With Daniel James it looks slightly better so I think it's fair to say at this stage that we will probably have him definitely available for the Monday game.
00:41If he is already able to play a part in the game on a good Friday at Oxford, late decision.
00:48So we have 24 more hours. I think it's pretty, pretty likely that he can be involved on Monday.
00:53Of course, we're trying everything also to make him available that he can travel with us to Oxford.
00:58But late decision, we will take the decision just tomorrow after training.
01:03No, there were obviously after the game a few knocks and like always after a game with a few bruises the players were struggling but all seem to be available also for this game.
01:15And finally, Bradford City boss Graham Alexander has confirmed that some of his squad have been struck down with an illness recently which has impacted their preparations for their game against Nodds County.
01:25Yeah, it's still been about the start of this week so we've got a couple of boys in today for the first time, see how they are.
01:35So we're going to then assess them again in the morning really. We need to leave it as long as possible because we want as many players available as possible.
01:45But there's a few that have missed a couple of days, unfortunately. That's from last week and then over the weekend.
01:52There's three or four. So yeah, we're just going to assess them. But they've all attended training today, which is a positive.
01:59But obviously being matched to A-1, it's a light session. We just need to give them another 24 hours eating right, sleeping, drinking, all that sort of thing.
02:09And see if they've replenished the energy they've probably lost.
