Injury blow to Leeds as worrying footage emerges as Leeds United star forced off in Italy U21s win

Spotted: Willy Gnonto injury worry emerges as Leeds United star forced off in Italy U21s win

On Thursday, November 16, Italy Under-21s defeated San Marino Under-21s 7-0 due to an injury that forced Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto off the pitch.

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

 

Supporters of Leeds must now hold their collective breath as they wait to find out how long Gnonto will be out injured. It is never good news when a player grabs his hamstring.

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.

Therefore, even if the winger’s return is limited to giving him an option off the bench, the German will be eager for his return as soon as possible.
