We’re delighted to welcome injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the injury situation at Leeds United...
The injury expert reacted as Daniel Farke confirmed last week that he was back in light training from a plantar fascia injury.
The Whites captain suffered his injury at the start of August and his return was slated for the first week of October, and Brar sees a mid-October return more likely – which is the international break – and the next game is against Norwich on the 21st.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Cooper: “Based on the comments of Farke, the full extent of the damage and recovery is unclear but it’s fair to see him return in the middle of October, when he should be back to a 100 per cent.
“That’s not unusual with such injuries because they can evolve very quickly and diagnosis is based on a number of factors including loss of function, swelling, manual testing and imaging
Cooper is likely to fight his way back into the playing eleven once he returns from injury.
He might have started the campaign as the first choice with Charlie Cresswell also getting a run in the team, but things are slightly different now.
Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk are forming a commendable partnership at the heart of defence and a clean sheet away at Millwall was a good display from the duo.
In other Leeds United news, Daniel Farke surely has the last laugh as footage of a £20m+ player has emerged over the past week.
