Leeds United injury list in full after Daniel Farke handed yet another blow
A look at the latest Leeds United injury woes
Leeds United’s injury woes have shown no sign of slowing down with Ian Poveda the latest blow to Daniel
Farke’s side. The Whites could be without as many as eight first-team players for the clash with Ipswich Town next
weekend.
It’s been far from plain sailing for Farke since taking over the reins at Elland Road, given the injury problems and
players leaving the club for new pastures. The German head coach was unable to fill the bench in the recent outing
against West Bromwich Albion, but remained hopeful there’d be new signings through the door before the end of the
window.
Leo Hjelde could return for the trip to Portman Road this weekend, having missed the clash with the Baggies after
picking up concussion in training. The new protocols mean he was forced to sit out of the draw at Elland Road on
Friday.
Here, Leeds Live provides a rundown on Leeds’ current crop of injured players.
Leo Hjelde
What Farke has said: “Some bad news was Leo Hjelde because he had a concussion in training yesterday after a
drill. Because we have the concussion protocols of the league, he will be out until next Monday, so he’s not available
for this game.”
Ian Poveda
What Farke has said: “Yeah suddenly he felt some pain to this morning in his adductors and we scanned him in
order to take the risk and this tight little adductor strain and he’ll be out for about 10 days. So missed the game today
and also next week.”
