Leeds United is dealing with various injury concerns as they prepare for their upcoming match against Burnley. Daniel James is among the players sidelined due to injury, following an incident in training. Despite facing several injury setbacks recently, Leeds showed their belief in James by offering him a new contract in July, highlighting the faith manager Daniel Farke has in the winger.
Harry Gray, a young player expected to feature for Leeds’ Under-21s, is also struggling with an injury, preventing him from making his Premier League debut. It is unclear when he will be available for selection. However, there is positive news concerning Lucas Perri and Willy Gnonto, with both players predicted to be back in contention for the Burnley game.
Perri, who had a challenging start to his Premier League career, is expected to return to the team after recovering from a thigh injury. His experience and presence will be welcomed back by Leeds, particularly after Karl Darlow’s performance in the recent match against Tottenham. Darlow conceded two goals that raised concerns, making Perri’s return timely and important for the team’s defensive stability.
If Perri is fit to play, he is likely to rejoin the starting lineup and provide Leeds with a reliable option in goal. His return could bolster the team’s defensive capabilities and help them secure a positive result against Burnley.
