Leeds United are now counting down the hours until their return to action with the international break done and dusted. Daniel Farke is headed back to former club Norwich City, where he won two promotions, and he will be hoping to lead his Whites to another win.
Leeds went into the break on the back of a win over Bristol City, and they will be looking not only to solidify their top six spot at Carrow Road, but they will also be hoping to close the gap on the top two. Though, the Whites won’t be helped by a number of injury issues, and with that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams ahead of this one. Take a look below.
2. Josh Sargent - Out
Sargent is out with an ankle ligament injury. He signed a new deal during the break.
3. Ashley Barnes - Doubt
Barnes is nearing a return from a knee injury, but this may come too soon.
4. Stuart Dallas - Out
Farke has said: “Stuart Dallas, he was out for such a long time, he’s part integrated, joined us in several parts of team training, sometimes he has to train individually or recover more. He definitely needs three or four full weeks before we can choose him.”
5. Junior Firpo - Out
Farke said this week: “Firpo is back in team training since Tuesday, he was part integrated. We have to still be careful a bit. The next step will be join us during the whole training week, then will need a few weeks to be ready. He is not a topic for Norwich.”
6. Wilfried Gnonto - Doubt
Farke has said: “Some progress, Willy is back in team training since last Sunday. Looked sharp in training, he is a topic for the squad to travel with us.”
