Leeds sweat on Gnonto injury as 49ers plan for summer

The Whites are hoping they will be preparing for life back in the Premier League this summer, however, there is still work to be done by Daniel Farke’s side in the final eight Championship games.

A recent wobble has seen Leeds take just five points from a possible 12, which has allowed rivals Sheffield United and Burnley to close the gap. It promises to be a nervy promotion run-in, and something that hasn’t helped Leeds’ cause is the injury to Wilfried Gnonto during the international break.

Gnonto impressed in his second-half display against QPR before the break in the No. 10 position after replacing Brenden Aaronson. However, Leeds are now assessing the ankle injury to the Italian after he returned to Yorkshire earlier than planned.

Should Leeds win promotion, the 49ers appear to have plans in place to make a number of eye-catching signings. A verbal agreement is already thought to be in place with former midfielder Kalvin Phillips, whereas Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been earmarked as a replacement for Illan Meslier.

The Whites are also confident they’ll sign Manor Solomon on a permanent deal if they go up, and by the looks of it, another name is on the Elland Road radar.
