Leeds United veteran Liam Cooper suffered a devastating injury while representing Scotland on the international stage, as reported by the Daily Record.
During Scotland’s 2-0 win over Gibraltar on June 3rd, the 32-year-old defender was forced to leave the field clutching his knee, causing concern among fans and teammates alike. This injury comes at a crucial time for Cooper, whose contract with Leeds United is set to expire this summer.
The uncertainty surrounding his future at Elland Road has only been heightened by this setback, with Cooper’s playing time limited this season due to competition from others in the squad. Despite his desire to remain with the club, it remains to be seen if a new deal will be offered to him.
If Cooper does stay at Leeds United, it is likely that he will have to accept a reduced role in the team, making it difficult for him to secure a spot in the starting lineup. With the club aiming for promotion to the Premier League, the pressure is on for Cooper to recover quickly and prove his worth on the field.
Missing out on a chance to showcase his talents at EURO 2024 would be a major blow for Cooper, who may have to consider other options if his injury continues to impact his ability to compete at the highest level. Despite the challenges he faces, Cooper remains determined to overcome this setback and continue his football career with determination and resilience.
