Karl Darlow, the standout custodian for Leeds United, dislocated his thumb and is currently awaiting a proper diagnosis. Daniel Farke has revealed that Darlow could be out for several weeks.
Darlow, 33, was compelled to observe while Ian Meslier stayed at Leeds during the summer. Two of the four games the summer signing from Newcastle has played for us have been in the Carabao Cup.
In the loss to Preston, the former player for Newcastle and Nottingham Forest replaced Meslier after the Frenchman was sent off. Afterwards, he started and ended the 1-0 loss against West Brom led by Carlos Corberan.
However, Phil Hay notes that during the warm-up prior to the game, Darlow dislocated his thumb. He used painkillers to get through the match, and in the victory over Birmingham City, Kris Klaesson took his position.

“Joffy Gelhardt will resume training next week after missing time due to a glute ailment. Karl Darlow will be away for roughly seven weeks as he awaits a diagnosis.Because he is a fighter, maybe he may return a bit sooner.

While Meslier will be serving the final game of his three-match ban, Kris Klaesson will play in his third senior game this coming weekend, which is a huge loss. A frustrating wait on the sidelines for Darlow.
He may even find himself on the bench upon his return, with Norway’s U21 custodian possibly surpassing the summer signing. In Klaesson, one man’s omission is another man’s opportunity.
