Overview
- Manager Daniel Farke said Anton Stach has an ankle ligament injury and expects him to be out until May, missing at least four matches.
- Ao Tanaka has started only seven Premier League games this season, though he scored in the FA Cup quarter-final, and he now stands to cover Stach’s role.
- Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports Leeds are open to selling Tanaka for about £8.7 million and that the midfielder is keen to stay in the Premier League.
- EPL Index presents a different view, saying Leeds value Tanaka at more than £10 million and linking his reduced minutes to Farke’s shift to a back-five system.
- Football Insider reports Leeds anticipate a club-record revenue boost, which could fund a summer rebuild and influence whether Tanaka is kept or cashed in.
