Daniel Farke reveals Leeds United star's comeback plan but defender ruled out of Swansea

Leeds United will be without Isaac Schmidt for Sunday's Championship clash against Swansea City, but Largie Ramazani is closing in on a playing return.

The Whites will head to the Liberty Stadium looking to manintain their positive recent form, and Farke has confirmed all his international players have returned without any new issues. What's more Max Wober came through 90 minutes of action with Austria without any serious reaction.

Brenden Aaronson will also be fit to take on Swansea after sitting out the USA's game with Jamaica. However, full-back Schmidt will not be available after undergoing a minor procedure for a hernia. Farke does not expect a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with the surgery taking place at the start of the international break, but he is ruled out for Swansea.

"First of all, we have two training sessions before Sunday in comparison to the last break," Farke said when asked about his squad's fitness. "It is beneficial for this game to be played on Sunday. All the players are back in today and tomorrow too.

"The players that stayed here worked too. Overall, it's good news, the players who were away came back without new injuries or illnesses. Brenden had a small illness while he was away, but he is back and OK. It was maybe beneficial for him to miss that first game.

"Isaac Schmidt needed hernia surgery during the break and will miss Sunday, but it won't last too long. Max Wober came back fine - there was a concern that he played 90, but I'm also pleased he played. We had to look after him and his knee reacted a little, but he's available for Sunday.

"Largie joined us for the first time during this week. Next week. with three games. will come too soon for him. He could be on the bench but only short appearances."

Junior Firpo will also miss Sunday's game as he serves the second of a three-game suspension. Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are continuing their recovery but are expected to remain out for several more weeks.
