Lucas Perri Injury: Dealing with knock

Perri (undisclosed) is dealing with a knock, according to manager Daniel Farke. "He came with a light injury, so he was not involved in team training. So far, he had a few days of rehab and also building physical fitness because the last days were also a bit difficult for him. It's always busy with signings and travelling and whatever. Since yesterday, he's also back in specific goalkeeper training with our goalkeeper coach. Tomorrow, or later next week, he will join us in team training. Lucas, we believe in him, in his quality. He needs a bit of time on the training pitch to step up."

Perri is struggling with a minor issue he had when he joined Leeds United. The goalkeeper now seems to be in for a race to get fit before the Premier League kicks off. He has a few extra days before the Aug. 18 opener against Everton. Illan Meslier or Karl Darlow could start if Perri can't get fit.
