Leeds United take on Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup tomorrow night
Leeds United go into their Carabao Cup first round showdown with Middlesbrough with a clean bill of health. Manager Daniel Farke has reported no fresh injury concerns after Saturday's topsy-turvy draw at home to Portsmouth and will have a fully-fit squad to choose from for tomorrow's tie.
Given the quick turnaround, Farke has confirmed he will rotate his squad. He said: "We will go highly motivated into this game. We want to go into the next round. We know it's not realistic that we will win the Carabao Cup but you never know. "We know we face a good side. Middlesbrough are one of the top teams in our league. It will be an interesting clash but we want to go into the next round. I will pick a line up that gives us a good chance to win the game.
There is also a strong possibility Luke Ayling could be involved against his former club. It will be the first time Ayling has returned to Elland Road since leaving the club earlier this summer. He joined Middlesbrough on a free transfer following the expiry of his Whites deal.
