Farke on Ampadu, Wober and Ramazani

Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before his side take on Norwich City on Tuesday (19:45 BST).

Here are the key lines from the Leeds United manager:

• Ethan Ampadu has a lateral knee ligament injury which will keep him out for around 10 weeks but surgery is not expected.

• Max Wober does require meniscus surgery, which will take place on Tuesday, and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks.

• Farke said: "You have to expect there will be injuries, have to hope for a little bit of luck. Ethan is our captain, one of our most important players. He is a key piece for balance between defensive stability and offense. It’s a big blow he’s not available but you have to adapt to it."

• Leeds will also be without Dan James, Manor Solomon and Isaac Schmidt at Norwich.

• Does Farke expect Pascal Struijk to step up in Ampadu's absence even more and show his leadership skills? He answered: "Big step forward in his leadership skills and personality last season. During the whole season so far a key player and leader, fantastic performances. He could chip in with goals from penalties and set-pieces. It’s even more important that he delivers right now. I don’t expect him to do anything different than he’s done in recent weeks."

• Asked how new signings Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka have been able to assimilate so quickly, Farke said: "We try to support with our tools, lots of communication, showing them videos and individual scenes, to improve them even more, passing choices, to bring our principles of football onto the pitch - but it’s always up to the players. We should be careful to praise them too much. In all areas, there is lots of space for improvement."
