Leeds United midfielder avoids serious injury scare and is set to be included in the team for Rotherham – Journalist

Willy Gnonto is expected to be healthy for Leeds United’s match against Rotherham United on Friday, following an injury scare on international duty last week.

The Whites make the relatively short trip to South Yorkshire to restart Championship play against Rotherham United, who are currently without a manager following the resignation of Matt Taylor last week.

It’s an opportunity for Daniel Farke to win his seventh game in a row, but he won’t have his entire team to select from.

Willy Gnonto was hurt in what way?

Willy Gnonto received an international call-up from the Italy camp, but this time with the under-21s rather than the senior squad.

He wore the captain’s armband in the second half of their 7-0 triumph over San Marino, scoring twice and winning a penalty for another, but was forced off just 10 minutes later after appearing to tear his hamstring.

Gnonto was spotted clutching his hamstring under light opposing pressure just before being taken off, raising doubt on his readiness for this week’s encounter at New York Stadium.

What’s the most recent news?
Gnonto and the Italy U21 team face Scotland tomorrow, and the 20-year-old has been confirmed to be traveling by the YEP’s Joe Donnohue, indicating he is fit enough to play.

This indicates that Leeds anticipate him to be available for Friday’s game against the Millers:

Where will Leeds finish in the 23/24 season?
A soft tissue injury like this for Gnonto must be treated carefully, and happily, we are not in a position where we must rely on him.

As previously stated, he should be fine for Friday, but we don’t have to force him to play if he isn’t ready.

It’s wonderful to know that it’s not a huge concern, and we can only hope that common sense prevails that the Italy coaching staff rests him tomorrow.
