Leeds United: Injury updates for Ilia Gruev and Joe Gelhardt at Elland Road
Ilia Gruev and Joe Gelhardt have both suffered new injuries at Leeds United, with the latter experiencing a back spasm, according to Adam Pope.
The BBC correspondent noted via his X account on February 28 that, in addition to the two listed, Georginio Rutter was hurt, and Patrick Bamford did not train on Monday.
It was also reported that Daniel Farke hopes to have a stronger squad for the Championship match against Huddersfield on March 2, with players returning after missing the 3-2 setback to Chelsea.
Leeds United injury blows begin to pile up at Elland Road.
If there is one game you don’t want those players to miss, it’s probably an FA Cup match against Premier League opponents rather than a key league match in their quest for automatic promotion.
Rutter‘s absence was most noticeable against Chelsea, with Joel Piroe struggling to fill his shoes. However, shifting Archie Gray into midfield to replace Gruev was fruitful, as he received good plaudits for his performance at Stamford Bridge.
