Leeds nUited have another injury worry to contend with after Sam Byram was forced off during the second half of their Elland Road clash against Plymouth Argyle. The full-back went down five minutes into the second half, needing treatment for what appeared to be an issue with his right foot.
With his side 2-0 up, Daniel Farke was clearly not in the mood to take any chances with a player that has had his fair share of injury issues during the past few seasons and quickly withdrew him from the action. Coming on in his place was Junior Firpo, who makes his first appearance of the season after he suffered an injury on the eve of the new campaign.Byram walked off the pitch and down the tunnel with no apparent limp, with Leeds United fans hopeful that the substitution was more out of caution, than necessity. Farke will likely give an injury update following the match, with his side now not in action for fortnight as the November international break will follow this weekend’s slate of fixtures.Leeds got off to a fast start against the Pilgrims, with Dan James opening the scoring on 21 minutes, before Joel Piroe doubled their advantage seven minutes later. Leeds are looking for a third win on the bounce, following successes against Huddersfield Town and Leicester City as they look to close down the gap to the top two.
