Leeds United v Brentford final injury news, two out, one doubt, four back | OneFootball

Leeds United host Brentford in their first home Premier League match on Sunday, with two players ruled out, one new doubt and four back.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds welcome returns for Willy Gnonto, Gabi Gudmundsson and Ilia Gruev, while Brentford have Yehor Yarmoliuk available, with Sepp van den Berg and Antoni Milambo sidelined. Leeds beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 on the opening weekend, then won 2-0 at Forest in the Carabao Cup. Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 before a 6-1 cup victory at Birmingham City.

Gnonto has been out since a pre-season hamstring injury against Manchester United in Dublin, returned to training on Friday, and will be assessed. Fiorentina are interested in the winger, but any move remains to be seen.

First-choice left back Gudmundsson also resumed training on Friday after a pre-season hamstring issue against Liverpool in America, with his fitness to be checked for Brentford.

Gruev is back in team training after a meniscus knee injury, though involvement is a major doubt. He only returned last week and was previously seen as needing at least two weeks, but he could be called upon if required.

Yarmoliuk, who appeared to hobble off in midweek, is fine and available for Elland Road. Van den Berg has a groin injury expected to keep him out for the first eight weeks of the season, while Milambo continues his ACL recovery and remains a few weeks away.

Kick-off at Elland Road is at two pm.
