Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest<\/a> at the City Ground (kick-off 14:00 GMT).<\/p>\n

Here are the key lines from his news conference:<\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin picked up an injury in his last game. Moyes said: “It was an abductor strain. It will be tight, so we will make a late call. He is not in team training, but we have a few more days and we won’t take any risks.”On Sebastiaan Bornauw: “He got a hit against his MCL so there is a question mark.”On Wilfried Gnonto: “He has been back in training for two full weeks. It’s good to see him back in training, so we will see if we take him. It’s not a risk any more because he is back in training.”On Dan James: “In terms of fitness, he is back and ready to start again. We need him but we need to find a good balance on creators. Dan fits several of our winger types, so we need to find who starts the game.”Farke spoke about the pressure of scoring goals: “We are a newly promoted side, so you can’t expect us to make as many chances as Haaland does for Manchester City.<\/a> Our strikers know our position and we just want to score enough goals to stay in this league. The main thing is that we are successful as a team. I don’t judge my players on their goals and assists its also about there workload is quite important. It’s not that we are not brave enough – we just don’t make enough chances.”Farke said his approach to this season is that it is “never a must-win game”, adding: “What we want to achieve is a point average per game. I am just addicted to winning as many games as we need to stay in the league.”<\/p>\n
