Daniel Farke has shared a new injury update on his Leeds United squad ahead of the upcoming trip to Sunderland.
Leeds face a very short turnaround between Tuesday night’s draw at Norwich City and the game at the Stadium of Light, which only makes the current injury crisis all the more difficult to deal with.
Ethan Ampadu, Manor Solomon, Max Wober, Dan James and Isaac Schmidt were all out at Carrow Road, while Ilia Gruev had to be replaced inside 20 minutes.
Farke says Leeds are still unsure on the extent of Gruev‘s injury but did confirm he will go for scans later on Wednesday, where they are likely to learn the severity.
Leeds’ bench was extremely weak in the game at Norwich and so Farke will be absolutely itching to get some bodies back as soon as possible.

As mentioned, the 72 hours between both matches makes it all the more difficult for Farke to bring back any of Leeds’ injured bodies at Sunderland.
Ampadu, James and Wober are all confirmed to be out longer term, while there had been some hope at least one of Schmidt or Solomon could return.
After only a brief cameo against Coventry City, the £4.6 million summer signing was absent at Norwich due to some issues with his glutes.
