Leeds United's expectation on Tyler Adams post-op recovery as duo present minor pre-Arsenal issues - YEP 28/3/23

-


Leeds United are awaiting a post-op assessment of Tyler Adams' hamstring but don't anticipate his absence becoming a long-term one.

By Graham Smyth

Adams went for surgery last week, having sustained a problem in training that kept him out of the Wolves game at Molineux and the US Men's National Team fixtures during the international break.

The midfielder, a key part of Javi Gracia's Whites side and among the candidates for Leeds' Player of the Season, has been on crutches since the operation but the club's medical department will soon be able to determine the length of time he will be missing.

Whilst it is currently unknown if he will make it back in time to play any further part in this season's action, the YEP understands his pre-season involvement this summer is not in doubt because the club does not expect him to be a long-term absentee.

Leeds also have injury doubts over Willy Gnonto and Max Wober, who both picked up mercifully minor knocks on international duty. The pair could miss out at the Emirates this weekend when Leeds face Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal, but neither is expected to miss many games. Head coach Gracia will be quizzed on the severity of Gnonto's ankle sprain and the thigh problem sustained by Wober when he sits down with the media later this week to preview the Arsenal clash.

The Whites have been without Stuart Dallas since last April thanks to the femoral fracture he suffered against Manchester City at Elland Road and subsequent surgeries. Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has rated the 31-year-old as an 'outside chance' for international involvement in June.

Adam Forshaw, meanwhile, has been missing from Premier League action since the game at Newcastle United on New Year's Eve. Jesse Marsch, prior to his sacking, revealed that Forshaw had been struggling with his hip and had needed an injection in January as he attempted to strengthen the problem area. Forshaw was out for almost two full years with a hip issue that required multiple surgeries but fought his way back to fitness last season. This campaign has yielded just five top flight appearances.

Leeds United have been handed some good news ahead of their first season back in the Championship. By Georgia Goulding After they were relegated from the Premier League last season, Leeds United prepared themselves to lose several key players on the transfer market this summer. Indeed, they’ve already seen the likes of Tyler Roberts and Rodrigo move onto pastures new, and Robin Koch has gone out on loan to Eintracht Frankurt before his contract expires next year. Dropping to the Championship was always going to present challenges for the Whites when it came to buying and retaining players. However, they have been handed a boost as rising star Charlie Cresswell has confirmed he is committed to the future of the club and wants to ‘achieve the dream’ he’s had with Leeds since he was young. Speaking on the Official Leeds United Podcast, the 20-year-old discussed how he had some offers come in for him this window but his desire it to remain at Leeds and become a regular part of Dani

The Whites are closing in on a deal for a centre-back as Jack Harrison closes on a move to Everton. By Mark Carruthers Leeds United are reportedly closing in on a £10million deal to make Liverpool defender Nat Phillips their fifth summer signing. Daniel Farke has already completed permanent deals for Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu, Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow and former Norwich City full-back Sam Byram.

By Callum O'Connell Everton have been in touch with Leeds United again over a potential deal to sign Wilfried Gnonto, but there is no truth to reports claiming a fee has been agreed, according to Shamoon Hafez. The BBC Sports reporter shared via his personal Twitter account that, despite reports in Italy claiming a £38.5million deal had been agreed between the two clubs, the Italian’s valuation has not yet been met.
