Sports'Bad news from Elland Road...' - Big Leeds injury update now emerges on Joe Gelhardt – report
Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt was forced off for the under-23s on Monday evening with a fresh injury concern.
The Lowdown: Gelhardt’s season so far
He has featured in four of the five Premier League games under Jesse Marsch, scoring a crucial winner against Norwich City last month.
The 19-year-old has slowly been establishing himself as a valuable figure in the American’s squad from the bench and played 31 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday.
He was given a start for the under-23s in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Monday evening, but it didn’t go to plan.
The Latest: ‘Bad news’ for Gelhardt
The Yorkshire Evening Post shared the news of Gelhardt’s injury on Twitter, describing it as ‘bad news from Elland Road’.
They added that the forward had an issue with his left leg and had to receive treatment, with the Whites’ initial hope being that it is a dead leg.
The Verdict: Fingers crossed
Gelhardt started for the under-23s looking to build up his fitness, with a reported fake positive virus test impacting the striker during the international break.
Fans may well be wondering why he was even playing on Monday, considering that both Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts are long-term absentees.
Hopefully the issue is a minor one and the 19-year-old can be available for selection for the huge trip to Watford this weekend following the club’s assessment this morning.
