Leeds United boss Daniel Farke celebrates after Saturday's 2-1 win over Preston [Rex Features]
Championship leaders Leeds United could secure promotion back to the Premier League over the Easter weekend.
Manager Daniel Farke has been speaking today, here are the main points from his pre-match media conference:
- Winger Dan James could be involved for Friday's trip to Oxford United following injury but will be assessed over the next 24 hours. It will be a late decision. He will probably be available for the visit of Stoke City on Monday.
- Midfielder Joe Rothwell will not be available for either of the fixtures this weekend.
- Farke admits to some difficulty caused by a long away trip on Friday night followed by a home game on Monday.
- He says his nomination for manager of the season is a sign of everyone at the club doing well.
- On keeping calm as the manager, he feels it is important to stay calm, but also have the fire at times when needed. However, he says having the fire at both ends of the candle is not helpful as a manager.
- On the mood in the camp after last weekend's results, he says no-one was over the moon, nothing is won yet, they can't afford to lose focus by even one or two per cent.
- Farke says he is delighted for Karl Darlow following some strong performances since replacing Illan Meslier. He never doubted he could rely on the Wales international.
- On Oxford, Farke has been impressed by their recent results, including clean sheets in wins against Sheffield United and Watford at home and away at Sheffield Wednesday.
