Spotted: Willy Gnonto injury worry emerges as Leeds United star forced off in Italy U21s win
Scenes from the match were uploaded to the official X platform of the Italian national team on November 16. The footage shows the 20-year-old pulling on his hamstring while he went for the ball.
Giuseppe Ambrosino came on in the 73rd minute to replace the Leeds player, who was forced to exit the pitch early.
Gnonto had already scored twice and won a penalty before being substituted, but he passed it to Sebastiano Esposito, missing the opportunity to complete his hat trick.
Concern
Even said, most fans may not be overly concerned about his injuries, despite the fact that it is undoubtedly not good news. The Italian has only made intermittent appearances since suffering an ankle ailment that kept him out earlier, and other players’ performances have mostly kept him out of Daniel Farke’s squad.
Despite the fact that Gnonto has not played as much as many may have anticipated this season, the Whites are winning even without him. Farke is well aware that a team needs options in order to compete over the course of a 46-game championship season—and Gnonto is undoubtedly a good one.
