Leeds United injury latest with Wilfried Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson return dates | OneFootball

According to Leeds Live, Leeds United are managing several injuries heading into the opening weekend, while others are still short of full fitness.

Noah Okafor is unlikely to start on Saturday after only 90 pre-season minutes, having returned late following Switzerland’s World Cup quarter-final run. James Trafford has had two outings but will be fine to feature.

Wilfried Gnonto has a hamstring problem with no recovery timeline, and Daniel Farke has labelled him a doubt for the opener. He was injured in the Dublin friendly against Manchester United. Possible return date: August 30 vs Brentford.

Gabriel Gudmundsson looks set to miss the opening weekend and likely the League Cup tie after a hamstring injury against Liverpool. He could also miss the first home game with Brentford. Possible return date: September 5 vs Brighton (A).

Ilia Gruev has not played this summer as he recovers from the meniscus injury sustained in April. He was partially reintegrated into training last week but will need time to regain sharpness. Possible return date: Unknown.

Lucas Perri’s status will not affect the weekend. Torino are closing in on a loan that was paused until his quad injury eased, with a medical expected once fit. He has only 45 minutes this summer and would not travel to Italy match sharp, possible return date: N/A.
