Leeds United face a crucial Championship clash against Burnley on Saturday lunchtime at Elland Road in what is The Whites’ biggest test of the 2024-25 campaign so far.
Like Daniel Farke, Scott Parker will be eyeing a third promotion from The Championship as a manager and will be doing so with his new Burnley side who have had an incredible turnover of players this summer.
Leeds are expected to welcome back two players that played for The Whites last season in the form of Connor Roberts and Jaidon Anthony. The two linked up on the right flank for Burnley in their last outing.
Burnley, also like Leeds, currently sit in the play-off positions after picking up seven points from their first four games of the season. However, the Clarets are not unbeaten like Leeds, having lost to Sunderland.
Solomon’s only previous outing against Burnley came last season
Following his successful stint at Fulham, 25-year-old Solomon joined Tottenham little over 12 months ago and he played six times for Spurs before the winger tore the meniscus in his knee, missing the season.
Solomon made a brilliant start to life at Leeds having joined on loan from Spurs, laying on a pivotal assist for Mateo Joseph against Hull. It was his first game in almost 12 months following his devastating injury.
He has since played twice for Israel during the break. In those six Tottenham outings, Solomon managed two assists for Ange Postecoglou’s side and they both came in a 5-2 win over Burnley last season.
Injury status of Leeds squad ahead of massive Burnley clash
Leeds have three injuries ahead of boss Farke’s press conference on Thursday. Patrick Bamford and Dan James both missed the win over Hull due to hamstring injuries, and James missed the international break.

The chances are that Bamford is not risked due to his injury record but if James is fit, there might be a space for him in on the Leeds bench. The other is Max Wober, who is said to have picked up a knee issue.
