Jesse Marsch hasn’t ruled out the possibility of signing a left-back this summer after confirming that Junior Firpo will miss the start of the Premier League season. Firpo picked up a knock during Leeds United’s pre-season friendly with Blackpool last week and as a result he has not travelled with the rest of the squad to Australia.
It seems he could now be set to miss the first month of the campaign and that could force the club to reassess their left-sided full-back options. The Whites have taken Leif Davis to Gold Coast and he will feature against Brisbane Roar on Thursday, but Marsch hasn’t dismissed the idea of adding more options to their squad.
“He's most likely out for eight weeks,” Marsch said of Firpo’s injury. “We're hopeful that it's a little bit faster because Junior healed really, really quickly last time after the MCL injury.
