Leeds United have been dealt a major blow ahead of their crucial weekend fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, as in-form forward Wilfried Gnonto has been ruled out through injury. The Italian international, who has been one of Leeds’ brightest sparks this season, picked up a knock in training earlier this week and has failed to recover in time for Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Gnonto’s absence comes at a critical time for Daniel Farke’s side, who are aiming to maintain momentum after a strong run of performances. The 20-year-old winger has been instrumental in Leeds’ attacking play, contributing with goals, assists, and his trademark bursts of pace that trouble defenders. His injury leaves a gap in Leeds’ frontline, and Farke will now be forced to shuffle his attacking options, with players such as Dan James or Crysencio Summerville expected to step up.
Leeds fans will be particularly disappointed given Gnonto’s recent form, as his creativity and energy have been central to the team’s resurgence. While the club has yet to confirm the full extent of the injury, early indications suggest it may keep him sidelined for more than just this weekend.
For now, Leeds must regroup quickly as they prepare to face Wolves without one of their key attacking threats.
