Leeds United missing eight for Wrexham friendly with updates on injuries and late arrivals | OneFootball

Leeds United were without eight first-team players for their opening pre-season friendly against Wrexham, with four absences injury-related.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Dominic Calvert-Lewin suffered a minor pre-season setback that halted his individual programme and is currently training alone on camp while building towards team work.

Jaka Bijol missed out after taking a knock to his knee. Sebastiaan Bornauw had a minor issue and was not risked.

Ilia Gruev ended last season early with a meniscus knee injury. He was expected to be back for pre-season and is in the USA tour group, though his return to action could take time.

Noah Okafor was granted an extended break after reaching the World Cup quarter-final with Switzerland, so he was not included in the travelling squad.

Brenden Aaronson is among those who played at the World Cup and were scheduled to join later. He was named in the tour squad but has not yet been seen with the group and is expected to feature later in the trip.
