Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has set the stage for a crucial Premier League clash this Saturday, as his side prepares to host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road. Fresh off a monumental away victory at Manchester United, the focus is now squarely on maintaining momentum.

Providing a key squad update, Farke confirmed that every player available for Monday's historic win is, at least for now, ready to face Wolves. However, the status of Joe Rodon, Anton Stach, and Dan James remains uncertain. "The first step is team training, and today no one is back in team training," Farke noted, while leaving the door open for a late surprise, adding, "we have two days."

The manager reflected on the emotional high of defeating their rivals at Old Trafford, calling it "one of the highlights of the season" and a performance that made the fans proud. Yet, he emphasized the team has already moved on, understanding the relentless nature of the Premier League schedule.

Farke also took time to praise individual performers. On Noah Okafor, whose brace silenced critics and earned a Switzerland recall, the manager dismissed pre-signing rumors about his attitude, stating, "I can't say I've had that at all. He's improved and learned."

The recent form of midfielder Ao Tanaka has also caught the eye. Farke expressed his happiness with Tanaka's performances, noting his strong showings in the cup and against Manchester United. "We were always convinced he could deliver," Farke said, acknowledging the adaptation period required for the Japanese international in his first top-flight season.

Despite Wolves' position at the foot of the table, Farke warned against any complacency. "I'm full of respect," he stated, highlighting that games against struggling sides with high expectations are often the most difficult. He pointed to Wolves' generally solid recent performances as reason for Leeds to remain humble and focused.

Finally, Farke commended defender Jaka Bijol's character after a challenging period that included a costly penalty concession against Chelsea. Praising Bijol's professionalism and resilience in dealing with setbacks, Farke highlighted his natural leadership qualities, underscoring the importance of mentality within the squad.
