Leeds United manager Daniel James is "carefully optimistic" that winger Daniel James will be fit for the team's upcoming Carabao Cup match against Chelsea. James experienced some discomfort in his back and hamstring during the warm-up at Brighton but the scans revealed no new injuries. The player completed an individual session and will undergo further assessments before a final decision is made on his availability.
Leeds United boss Farke confirmed that James reported issues during the warm-up at Brighton, but the scans showed no additional problems. James is set to complete more sessions this afternoon and a light training session tomorrow morning. If he progresses well, he is expected to be available for selection. Farke acknowledged that the long journey to Brighton might have contributed to James' discomfort, noting that small details can significantly impact a player's condition.
The manager believes that the positive scan results will provide James with reassurance, particularly after his recent setback. Farke emphasized the importance of maintaining professional travel routines to avoid any potential injuries.
