“Everyone is fit” was the message from Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen ahead of facing Wolves.
Speaking to a pre-match press conference and quoted by The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen has revealed that “everyone is fit” ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Wolves.
Leeds travel to the West Midlands on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at Elland Road on Sunday, but Wednesday’s clash promises to be a far tougher test.
Wanderers sit top of the Championship, 12 points clear of seventh-place United and no team has scored more goals than Nuno Espírito Santo’s side so far this season – 31.
The Whites managed the victory without striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga on the weekend, with the German hitman omitted from the squad with an unspecified illness, but Christiansen suggests that he could be back in contention to start at Molineux after revealing he had no injury problems in the squad.
“I said he was sick and we will see now if he is able to come in now. Everyone is fit,” he told a press conference, quoted by The YEP, when asked about Lasogga.
Claiming that all of his players were fit, but refusing to confirm whether Lasogga would be in the squad, was a somewhat confusing revelation.
The Hamburg loanee has five goals in 10 Championship games, but Kemar Roofe, who replaced him up front against Boro, did a fine job in the number nine role and it would perhaps be slightly harsh if the former Oxford United man was to make way for the 25-year-old.
Stuart Dallas withdrew from Northern Ireland duty before the international break, but the Spanish coach also indicated that he was back in contention.
