Leeds latest: Elvedi could make debut in rotated team at Forest, says Farke

Leeds boss Daniel Farke says new signing Nico Elvedi could make his debut in Tuesday night's trip to Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup second round.The defender joined after 11 years with Borussia Monchengladbach.“Nico is available, eligible to play and also in good rhythm. He has played more or less near all the pre-season games for Gladbach," said Farke.“He is also in very good shape, was quite impressive for first days in training and for that, yes, he has also a chance perhaps to get some minutes or to make his debut tomorrow.“We take some late decisions like always when you have such a quick turnaround but definitely a possibility, yes.”Farke says there are no new injury worries for Leeds' second game of the season.“There will be some changes in the starting line-ups for both teams. In the cup competitions, perhaps even a bit more than it would be in a normal league game," he added.“But I also don’t expect that it would be a completely different side. So, for that, it is about finding a good balance. As far as I am aware, no new injuries.“Nowadays our doctors and physio and sports science, they do lots of tests and recovery tests, so no one has told me that one player who was involved on Saturday is not available for tomorrow.“So for that, I expect more or less to have the same players available like it was also for the last game. If someone is struggling a bit with recovering quick enough in order to start perhaps the game again or for many minutes, we will see, but so far it seems like no new injuries.”
