Leeds United teen Harry Gray returns to Thorp Arch after hamstring strain amid Rotherham change | OneFootball

Leeds United teenager Harry Gray has returned to Thorp Arch for treatment on a hamstring strain suffered on loan at Rotherham United, with new boss Lee Clark hopeful he can feature again this season.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the 17-year-old had been ever present since his January switch to the League One club but missed the midweek drubbing by Peterborough United. The following day Matt Hamshaw was sacked and swiftly replaced by Clark.

Clark said recalling a young loanee for rehab is standard, adding that Leeds’ facilities and proximity can help. He is hopeful Gray will be available for the next group of matches after Saturday.

Hamshaw rated Gray highly and near-guaranteed minutes helped persuade Leeds and the player to sanction the January move. Clark wants the young attacker involved again as soon as he is fit.

He described Gray as an exciting prospect from strong pedigree. Clark said injuries have blighted Rotherham’s season and that he already knows his limited options for Saturday, hoping to welcome bodies for the remaining eight games.

Rotherham visit league-leading Lincoln City on Saturday, managed by former Leeds coach Michael Skubala, before hosting Stevenage at New York Stadium. Gray’s issue is thought to be relatively minor and should only keep him out for two to three weeks at most.
