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.”
