After Leeds United\u2019s 1-1 draw to Villarreal, Daniel Farke issued a worrying injury update.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In what was a game with little action, the Whites played out a respectable draw against their Spanish opposition.<\/p>\n

Farke<\/a> will have taken plenty of positives, but a few issues emerged as Isaac Schmidt must leave on loan<\/a> after a disappointing display.<\/p>\n

Promising things can be taken from Anton Stach<\/a> and Brenden Aaronson<\/a>, who looked like a class above everyone else.<\/p>\n

But a few players were missing from the squad today, and the Leeds<\/a> boss has issued an update where he\u2019s \u2018concerned\u2019 about one player.<\/p>\n

The injury concern before the game involved a new signing, as Lucas Perri had a pre-existing niggle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This kept the shot-stopper out of the matchday squad, but there was also the absence of Jayden Bogle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds fans might want to look away as speaking after the game, Farke claimed he was \u2018a bit concerned\u2019 about the right-back, who has had a hip flexor problem.<\/p>\n

DF: “Bogle had a problem with his hip flexor. A bit concerned. Unsure if he will be available for Milan. Have to stay aware in the full-back positions. Need quality there. Outstanding last season and good pre-season so far. Will miss more training.” #lufc<\/a><\/p>\n

Bogle has been \u2018world class\u2019 in pre-season<\/a>, continuing his form from last campaign, so it\u2019s certainly not ideal news just a few weeks before the season starts, as the defender will miss the Peacocks\u2019 final game against AC Milan before the Premier League<\/a> opener vs Everton.<\/p>\n

Alongside this, Dan James\u2019<\/a> situation was also explained.<\/p>\n

Dan James has had \u2018light problems\u2019 after \u2018rusty\u2019 start at Leeds United<\/p>\n

In a bizarre start to this pre-season, the Welshman hasn\u2019t looked his normal self, with James being \u2018rusty\u2019 for Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is certainly not expected from the Whites\u2019 player of the season, as the 27-year-old was consistent throughout last campaign.<\/p>\n

Well, Farke came with a more positive update on the electric winger, which might explain why he\u2019s had this rustiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames had light problems during this week. Did not want to risk anything. Expect him back next weekend,\u201d Farke said.<\/p>\n

With James on the mend, the same can\u2019t be said for Jack Harrison<\/a>, whose future is still uncertain.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack (Harrison) had every session and game since after the camp. Struggling with adductor problems now. Wait for the scan. Consultant on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Harrison now looking set for a spell on the sidelines, this doesn\u2019t bode well for his future, but the result of the scan needs to be taken into account.<\/p>\n

The squad still isn\u2019t 100% ready, and although fans will finally see the best of James soon, Bogle\u2019s news is a serious worry.<\/p>\n
