Daniel Farke has provided an update on Willy Gnonto’s injury, which occurred during Leeds United’s 0-0 draw with Hull City on Wednesday (20 September).
The Whites boss told LeedsLive on Wednesday that the Italian international rolled his ankle, which was “pretty painful” as he was taken off the field after only 21 minutes as the game ended 0-0 at MKM Stadium.
He also stated that the 19-year-old forward’s foot was “a little swollen,” but he hopes the injury isn’t too serious because they must “wait for further assessment.”

Daniel Farke provides a ‘painful’ Willy Gnonto injury report following Leeds United’s draw with Hull City.
Daniel Farke has provided an update on Willy Gnonto’s injury, which occurred during Leeds United’s 0-0 draw with Hull City on Wednesday (20 September).
The Whites manager told LeedsLive on Wednesday that the Italian international rolled his eyes.
It’s always difficult to deal with ankle injuries, and Gnonto certainly received a significant blow that prompted him to be substituted.
He appears to be out for at least the game against Watford on Saturday (23 September), as he would need to recover rapidly to be ready.
That would be a setback for Farke, who sees the Italian as an important element of his team and pushed hard to keep him at the club throughout the summer.
However, if he is absent, another player will get the opportunity to step in and perform, and that player is likely to be Crysencio Summerville, who impressed when he came on for his fellow attacker on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old Dutchman was unlucky not to score, having had several attempts saved by Hull keeper Ryan Allsop as the game ended goalless.
In unrelated Leeds United news, an £82 million development could lead to one player’s permanent departure from the club.
