Injury woes and potential surprises: Unveiling the Gameweek 25 lineup
As Leeds United and Nottingham Forest kick off their matches on Friday, their head coaches took center stage early on Wednesday. Here's a breakdown of the key injury news and potential lineup changes:
Leeds United:
- Anton Stach, due to a hip issue, is expected to miss Gameweeks 25 and 26. Farke estimates a 10-14 day absence, which is a blow for the team.
- Lukas Nmecha, still recovering from a hamstring injury, is unlikely to feature this week.
- But here's some good news! Jaka Bijol, who missed the last three Gameweeks, is back in training and could be a welcome addition.
- James Justin, after a toe injury scare, has also returned to training and is available for the weekend.
- Daniel James, absent since November, has had a full week of training and might make a comeback.
- And this is the part most people miss: Facundo Buonanotte, on loan from Chelsea, is still working on his fitness and confidence. Farke emphasizes the need for patience with new signings.
Nottingham Forest:
- Matz Sels and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who were substituted at half-time last weekend, are doubtful for the Elland Road trip. Sels' groin injury and Hudson-Odoi's shoulder knock are being assessed.
- Nicolo Savona, Chris Wood, and John Victor remain on the injury list, with knee issues.
- Neco Williams, after his controversial handball in Gameweek 24, serves a one-match ban.
- With Williams and Savona out, the spotlight turns to Luca Netz, a recent signing. Dyche hints at a potential debut, stating, "He adds balance to our squad, especially in a position where we're limited."
