Playmaking Forward
Leeds UnitedSub appearance Tuesday
Piroe generated two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Piroe came off the bench in the 84th minute of Tuesday's clash against Sunderland, attempting two shots and adding one key pass. The forward continues to operate in a reserve role this season, having started the last nine matches on the bench without recording a goal contribution during that span.
Limited impact offensively
Piroe has made just one appearance off the bench for Leeds since the beginning of September.
Analysis: Piroe started the first two matches of the season for Leeds United, but between subpar play and a minor calf injury, he's been limited to only 11 minutes off the bench since the end of August. Piroe has yet to find the back of the net for Leeds in the EPL campaign.
Returns to bench
Piroe (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Piroe has shaken off a calf issue and returns to the squad for Saturday's clash against Wolves, starting the match on the bench. The striker was a late decision heading into the weekend but passed a fitness test. His role is unchanged from last time out as he looks to make an impact if called upon.
Not available Saturday
Piroe (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Fulham.
Analysis: Piroe received a hit on his calf and has not been included in the squad for Saturday's clash against Fulham. The striker was a late call ahead of the match but did not recover in time. His absence is unlikely to alter the starting setup given he was only on the bench last time out.
Doubtful against Fulham
Piroe is dealing with a calf knock and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Fulham, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "Joel also got hit in his calf and has a big bruise. We'll have to wait to see how he reacts in the next 48 hours."
Analysis: Piroe received a hit on his calf and is a little doubt for Saturday's clash against the Cottagers. The striker will be a late call for Saturday's game against the Cottagers. That said, the striker was on the bench last time out, suggesting that his potential absence wouldn't affect the starting squad much.
