Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says Daniel James will \u201cprobably\u201d be available to face Stoke City on Easter Monday and could even be available against Oxford United on Good Friday.<\/p>\n
The winger, 27, finished the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough on April 8 with a hamstring injury and subsequently missed the 2-1 victory over Preston North End on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Farke feels confident the Championship Player of the Season nominee will be involved against Stoke, but they are pushing to have the Wales international in the squad for the Kassam Stadium visit too.<\/p>\n
However, midfielder Joe Rothwell has been ruled out of the weekend\u2019s matches. Farke is hopeful the Bournemouth loanee will be fit for the final home game of the season against Bristol City on April 28.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoe Rothwell will definitely miss this weekend\u2019s games,\u201d said Farke. \u201cWe hope to have him available for the last home game against Bristol.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Daniel James, it looks slightly better. It\u2019s fair to say, at this stage, we will probably have him available for the Monday game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he is already able to play a part in the game on Good Friday at Oxford, (it\u2019s a) late decision, so we have 24 more hours. It\u2019s pretty likely he can be involved on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, we\u2019re trying everything to make him available to travel with us to Oxford, but (it will be a) late decision. We will take the decision tomorrow (Thursday) after training.\u201d<\/p>\n
