Daniel Farke has confirmed that Karl Darlow will start as Leeds United's goalkeeper for the crucial match against Luton, replacing Illan Meslier. Meslier's recent errors, including a critical mistake in a match against Swansea, prompted Farke to make this change as Leeds strive for promotion back to the Premier League. Although Meslier has been the first-choice keeper, Farke emphasized the importance of stability in goalkeeping but acknowledged Meslier's difficulties this season and expressed the need to protect him as he continues to develop.
Farke mentioned, "Big believer to have clarity on the goalkeeper position - I have taken my decision and spoke to the goalkeepers, Karl will play on Saturday."
Farke acknowledged Meslier's struggles, stating, "We all know Illan's had a difficult season so far, you have to be honest."
Farke said, "In the goalkeeper position it's important you don't change game-to-game, even after a few mistakes."
Farke expressed his intentions to protect Meslier, noting, "the weight of the world is on his shoulders, and we have to protect him."
