Daniel Farke has provided updates on Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor after they went off injured in Leeds United\u2019s win over West Ham United on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/a> bounced back to winning ways with a well-earned 2-1 victory over an extremely poor West Ham United side on Friday night at Elland Road.<\/a><\/p>\n

The pressure was on Daniel Farke<\/a> after the loss to Burnley last weekend, but the manager made important changes to refresh his side.<\/p>\n

Yet, it was one player who managed to keep his spot, despite a poor game at Turf Moor, in Brenden Aaronson, who grabbed the opener<\/a> after just three minutes.<\/p>\n

Joe Rodon<\/a> doubled the lead shortly afterwards for his third goal in six games and it looked like Leeds would run riot.<\/p>\n

However, West Ham finally asserted themselves in the second half and pulled one back late on through Mateus Fernandes to make it closer than it should have been.<\/p>\n

Yet, it was a great night for Leeds as they claimed a vital three points in the relegation race, but there was a disappointing development as Gabriel Gudmundsson<\/a> went off injured before the break.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, Noah Okafor<\/a> was then taken off at half-time. The Swiss winger was back in the starting XI after missing the defeat to Burnley with an adductor issue, but could only last 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Now Farke has given an update on their condition.<\/p>\n

Gudmundsson had enjoyed a strong performance against West Ham, finding plenty of room to attack down the left. It was his tenacious attacking play that won the corner Rodon scored from.<\/p>\n

Sadly, however, the Swede limped off before the break and Farke doesn\u2019t appear to have much clarity on the injury at the moment.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game in his post-match press conference,<\/a> Farke simply said: \u201cBetween back and leg, seemed pretty painful.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Okafor, Farke revealed his substitution wasn\u2019t pre-planned, as some had hoped, but it\u2019s not yet clear if he has suffered a relapse of his injury. <\/p>\n

He added: \u201cNot pre-planned, but let\u2019s see how he goes. Was a really difficult week. Pretty happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke on Leeds United performance vs West Ham<\/p>\n

Farke also gave his assessment of the performance. Though Leeds dominated the first half, they failed to increase their tally and left themselves vulnerable.<\/p>\n

West Ham came back into things after the break and threatened to get level, which would have been a disaster.<\/p>\n

However, Farke seems pleased with the night\u2019s work. He said: \u201cIt\u2019s never easy to win a Premier League game. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a difficult week. Even after our press conference, we struggled so much with illnesses in the camp and players were just back with injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cStach had another hit against his rib. It was difficult today to find such a balance and find the right mix. We started very brave and deserved to lead 2-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had way more control in other games. Second half, we started way better in terms of control. Missed a bit to score a goal and in the last 20 minutes you could see the struggles we had. <\/p>\n

\u201cNervous last four minutes but nevertheless priceless first points.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Farke has provided updates on Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor after they went off injured in Leeds…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":526442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[1385,94,80358,121657,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-526441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-daniel-farke","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-gabriel-gudmundsson","11":"tag-noah-okafor","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115433401904436563","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/526442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
