The 9 Leeds United players who will miss Premier League opener vs Wolves
The Whites will be without a number of key faces this weekend.
Leeds United get their 2022/23 Premier League campaign underway on Saturday with a visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Whites have been busy this summer, with a number of high-profile signings drafted in to bolster Jesse Marsch’s squad, as well a couple of big name deparatures to contend with too.
With a little under a month to go before the transfer window closes, United continue to be linked with several potential acquisitions, but for the time being at least, Marsch knows the options that he has at disposal for this weekend’s top flight curtain-raiser.
The American is set to be without as many as nine players against Wolves, with absences ranging from the brief to the long-term.
For their part, Bruno Lage’s men also have their fair share of injury issues to deal with.
Raul Jimenez, Nelson Semedo, Adama Traore, Chiquinho, and Matija Sarkic are all expected to miss out on the trip to Elland Road.
With that in mind, here is the full list of Leeds United’s likely absentees...

5. Luke Ayling - Knee
“Luke Ayling has made a lot of progress and is ahead of schedule. We’re trying not to pressure him too much. He’s been on the pitch, hopefuly he can be in training [soon]”, Marsch continued.
6. Luis Sinisterra - Hamstring
“Luis Sinsterra was on the pitch today and looking very good, getting closer and closer to his top speed. Hopefully he will be available for the weekend after”, the American shared.
7. Stuart Dallas - Leg
“Stuart Dallas is making progress, he has had a couple of check ups after the severe surgery and he’s right on track”, Marsch added.
8. Mateusz Bogusz - Knee
Marsch explained: “Bogusz has been working incredibly hard and has also been on the pitch and we’re hopeful he can be back in team training soon. He could be an option. I need to get to know him better and see him with our team. It’s exciting that he’s coming back strong.”
