Leeds United picture reveals unexpected bonus as Daniel Farke's promotion hand strengthened

Leeds United have been buoyed by the sight of Largie Ramazani with his boots back on and a return to the training field. It may be the first tentative steps towards a return for the summer signing but it's a positive step none-the-less.

Ramazani has not played since his goal-scoring performance in the 2-1 win over Watford at Elland Road, with ligament damage from a twisted ankle resulting in the 23-year-old winger being on the sidelines in recent weeks. The former Manchester United youth player has been a big hit since his arrival from Almeria in the summer, with three goals from eight appearances.

Ramazani took to his Instgram account to post a picture of himself with his boots back on as he steps up his rehabilitation during the international break. A return to action against Swansea City when Leeds next play on November 24 is still expected to come too soon for the player, however the initial timeframe of four to six weeks looks like it could now be the best possible scenario and Daniel Farke may have another option this month with three more games to be played in November.

It will come as welcome news to Farke, who will hope to have as many options as possible for a busy end to the year which sees his team facing 10 more Championship games between the end of November and the start of 2025. Leeds currently sit third in the Championship standings with a big month to come in the race for promotion to the Premier League.
