On Saturday, Leeds United will play again in the Championship against Norwich City.
In less than a week, Leeds United will return to the Championship as they get ready for back-to-back away visits against Norwich City and Stoke City, respectively.
Junior Firpo could return to team practice ahead of Saturday’s trip to Norwich, as Daniel Farke revealed earlier this month that the defender was expected to return after the international break.
Jamie Shackleton, who was absent for the victory over Bristol City at home, could also return after the end of the international break.
At the beginning of October, Farke stated: “Jamie will without a doubt miss the [Bristol City] game; the shoulder is very uncomfortable, and we need some additional evaluation. On the other side of the international break, I hope he will be accessible.
All three players—Djed Spence, Willy Gnonto, and Stuart Dallas—are anticipated to be sidelined, despite the fact that the latter has resumed team training and is regaining his health after sustaining a significant leg injury in April 2022.
The availability of Marcelino Nunez and Jacob Sorenson for David Wagner’s team should provide some injury relief for Norwich ahead of the match.
Following an injury layoff, Sorenson played 45 minutes for the Canaries’ Under-21 team earlier this week, and Nunez has teamed up with Chile in an effort to gain some experience in a competitive setting after just recovering from an injury sustained during the September international break.
Prior to the match against Leeds, Grant Hanley, the club captain, is also expected to return to training, but it is unlikely that he will play right away after missing all of April.
After Norwich’s draw at Coventry, the German remarked, “Grant Hanley is close for team training, which is an absolutely mega boost for everyone.” “Touch wood, it appears that if everyone returns from the international break healthy, we will have some more,”options.”
Josh Sargent is expected to be sidelined until the start of the new year, although Ashley Barnes might be able to play again after suffering a knee injury last month. The Canaries are hoping for his comeback following the current international break because he does not require surgery.
