Here is the latest injury information for Leeds United and Norwich City ahead of their Championship clash this Saturday as they prepare to return to action following the international break.
Leeds United is eagerly awaiting their return to the field after the international break has concluded. Manager Daniel Farke, returning to his former club Norwich City, where he achieved two promotions, aims to guide Leeds to another victory.
Leeds entered the break on a positive note with a win over Bristol City. In their upcoming match at Carrow Road, they seek not only to secure their position in the top six but also to narrow the gap between them and the top two teams. However, they face a series of injury concerns. Below, we’ve compiled the latest injury updates for both teams.
1. Grant Hanley – Out
Hanley is out until late October with a muscular problem.
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.”
7. Djed Spence – Out
Farke has said: “He’s doing his rehab here, he’s training on the pitch but not with the team. He will still be out a couple of weeks.”
8. Jamie Shackleton – Doubt
Farke has said: “Jamie Shackleton back in training since the beginning of this week.”
9. Leo Hjelde – Doubt
Farke has said of Hjelde: “For some we have a bit of concern but they came back without injuries. The only question mark is Leo Hjelde.”
