Leeds United have suffered a potentially devastating blow ahead of their game against Bristol City.
Leeds go into the Saturday lunchtime clash hoping to make it three wins in a row but they may have to do it without one of their star men.
This comes as Daniel Farke revealed that it was likely that one man would not be available for the game on Saturday as Leeds continue to pursue a spot in the top two and automatic promotion.
After scoring the opening goal as Leeds United took a 2-0 lead against Watford on Tuesday (22nd October) inside seven minutes, Largie Ramazani limped off the field with an ankle injury and after the game, Farke revealed it was likely he would miss Saturday’s game saying:
“He rolled/twisted his ankle and it was pretty painful and we will have to wait for the assessment.
“Of course, I hope for not a bad injury. He deserves a bit of luck and we had (like for like) substitutions and he couldn’t go on.
“With a quick turnaround, it could probably be difficult to have him available for the weekend.”

Daniel Farke “worried” during Watford clash
Leeds United FC v Coventry City FC – Sky Bet Championship Daniel Farke, Leeds United manager, after the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Coventry City at Elland Road in Leeds, England, on September 28, 2024.
This came as Farke also revealed that he was worried during the game despite going 2-0 up. He explained in his post-match press conference saying: “I am really happy with the three points. I was worried after 10 minutes when we went 2-0 up.
“Because I have experienced this situation so often in football. Last Friday was such a magic night and it was probably our best performance of the season and everyone praises us.
“The national media, Sky and the opponents manager says ‘this is the big team by far in the league and no-one will finish above them.’
“Then, you go into the next game against a really experienced and physical side and also a really good team.”
He went on to add: “You find it easy to go and lead 2-0 and it normally always leads to a situation where you do one step less and then the whole momentum changes and you can’t find the speed any more and quite often after such a start you drop points and we speak about going too early in the lead. But this did not happen.
“But I can’t really criticise anything and we kept our foot on the gas and created many more chances in the second half.”
Farke: “Just score goals in both halves and don’t let the other side do the same!”
