Early team news: Decision made on Leeds United man who underwent injury scan pre-Watford
Leeds United host Tom Cleverley’s Watford this evening looking to secure successive wins in the Championship after a crucial win over Sheffield United last time out.
It’s a fairly swift turnaround again for Daniel Farke’s squad following their most recent Championship fixture, a 2-0 home win against a Sheffield United side that were unbeaten prior to Friday.
Up next for Leeds is a clash against Tom Cleverley’s Watford, who are smarting after their crushing 3-0 loss away at Luton Town.
Leeds team news: Three ruled out for Farke pre-Watford
There have been no major shocks in Farke’s squad when it comes to injury news this week after that intense Yorkshire derby, as discussed in the German’s pre-match press conference.
Three players are going to be absent from the squad to face the Hornets, with knee injuries keeping Ilia Gruev, Ethan Ampadu out until the new year while Max Wöber is due back before the November international break.
As for Willy Gnonto, shoulder problems cropped up early on against the Blades and prompted Farke to have Manor Solomon ready to come on, but the Italian played through discomfort before coming off for Dan James in the 68th minute.
