Leeds United fitness worries, Wilson near-miss and VAR explanation in four key stories | OneFootball

Leeds United head towards the Sheffield Wednesday fixture with fitness doubts, a transfer near-miss and fresh officiating focus in the headlines. Here are four developments shaping the agenda.

According to Leeds Live, three players face late checks after a busy run of games. Staff are tracking their recovery to ensure they are ready to keep the side’s momentum in the next outing.

Leeds missed out on Harry Wilson when a move with Fulham collapsed in the final moments of the window. His form elsewhere underlines what the club may be missing, and recruitment staff are assessing alternatives, with a leading target in Spain under consideration.

PGMOL chief Howard Webb has addressed recent calls, focusing on a Crystal Palace penalty incident. His explanation is intended to clarify how VAR and referees are told to read complex fouls in the area.

Speculation around Gustavo Hamer’s future at Sheffield United is intensifying as contract talks reach a critical phase. The outcome could prove significant for the club’s longer-term planning and their approach to the January market.
