Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is likely only to make changes of an enforced nature against Cardiff City this weekend.

The Leeds United squad remain supportive of boss Daniel Farke despite talk that he is under pressure to keep his job. The German was named as the Whites ’ manager last year, inheriting a talented squad that had been relegated from the Premier League, so the expectation for the previous campaign was to win promotion.

It is the second successive year where United have got off to a relatively slow start following a big squad rebuild. Farke, who steered the Whites to the play-off final last season, is acutely aware of the need to stay within touching distance of their promotion rivals.

The defeat at Pride Park leaves Cardiff bottom of the table, having picked up just a solitary point from five games, conceding 11 goals already in the process. Ryan Lowe and Steven Schumacher have left their jobs in the second tier, but Bulut could be the next to follow.

His critics were out in force in the wake of a 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley last weekend. Some supporters criticised Farke's decision-making and style of play as the Whites, not for the first time under Farke's leadership, struggled to break down a low block.

Substitutions have always been a discussion point during Daniel Farke’s tenure as Leeds United manager.

Leeds United travel to bottom side Cardiff City on Saturday for a rare 15:00 BST kick-off. It will be the Whites' first chance to recover after the first league defeat of the season last weekend against Burnley where manager Daniel Farke felt his side had performed well.

Daniel Farke confirmed on Thursday that all three have been managing issues through the week, with Firpo feeling problems with the medial collateral ligament in his knee while Rothwell rolled his ankle. On-loan winger Solomon was labelled the ‘biggest question mark’ by his manager due to an issue in his back.

One journalist has provided an update on the future of Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, as the German is coming under significant pressure following a slow start to the new Championship season.

Criticising Daniel Farke for overseeing just four wins in Leeds United’s last 14 league games is not fair, in his eyes. After Saturday’s loss, some fans pointed out the manager’s poor recent record when you club together the end of last season with the start of this term.
