Ampadu, Wober, Schmidt – Leeds United injury news and possible return dates ahead of Norwich City clash
Leeds United is facing a number of injury issues ahead of their upcoming matches, with several key players sidelined due to various injuries. Isaac Schmidt, a summer signing for the team, will not be able to play in the upcoming game against Norwich due to glute problems. Daniel James, who has missed the last four games due to a hamstring injury, is not expected to return until after the October international break. Manor Solomon, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues, is also expected to be out for an extended period of time.
Max Wober, who has been dealing with knee issues since the start of the season, will be undergoing surgery and is expected to be out of action for about six weeks. Defender Ethan Ampadu is also facing a significant recovery timeline, with doctors recommending conservative treatment for his injury. It is estimated that he will be out for around 10 weeks, with a potential return to team training in December and availability for games in January.
Leeds is facing a hectic schedule with quick turnarounds between games, making it challenging for injured players to recover in time to participate. The team’s manager, Farke, is providing regular updates on the players’ conditions and expected return dates. The hope is that the injured players will be able to recover fully and rejoin the team in time for the important upcoming matches. Despite the setbacks, the team is working to ensure that the injured players receive the necessary treatment and support to facilitate their recovery and return to play.
