Junior Firpo is fit enough to be involved this weekend as Leeds United welcome Arsenal to Elland Road, Jesse Marsch has confirmed. Firpo wasn’t fit enough to make the journey to Crystal Palace last Sunday with the head coach revealing he had picked up a knock in the build-up to the game.
However, the left-back has trained this week and he will be fit enough to take on Mikel Arteta’s table toppers on Sunday afternoon. Firpo has struggled with injuries this season, making just one appearance off the bench, which came earlier this month in the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.
He’ll be keen to start applying pressure on Pascal Struijk in the coming weeks, though, as he bids to reclaim his spot in the Whites’ starting XI. Marsch had encouraging news on Stuart Dallas, too, with the defendern continuing to make swift progress in his recovery from a fractured femur.
