AliousLeeds United manager Daniel Farke is anxiously awaiting news on Willy Gnonto after the player was substituted at half-time during an Italy U21 match against San Marino.
Gnonto started the game but was removed following several rough challenges, though he didn’t appear overly concerned at the interval.
The substitution may have been precautionary, but Gnonto’s condition remains unknown.
Despite potential concerns, Leeds United might be well-equipped to manage without Gnonto.
The forward failed to contribute to the scoreline in a match that ended 7-0, which doesn’t reflect well on his performance.
Leeds has bolstered its offensive lineup during the summer transfer window, potentially putting Gnonto’s position at risk.
New signings Largie Ramazani and Manor Solomon now compete with Daniel James and Gnonto for wing positions.
Mateo Joseph has been in good form, scoring in the recent 2-0 win against Hull City, and seems set to lead the attack, with Joel Piroe and Patrick Bamford as alternatives.
Farke has improved Leeds’ fortunes after a poor start to the season, positioning the team for a promotion push.
In this competitive environment, Gnonto, who has scored once in four Championship starts, isn’t guaranteed a starting spot.
If he has sustained an injury, he might face a challenge to regain his place in the team.
