Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto has faced criticism for his performance in Italy’s Under-21 match against the Netherlands. The 21-year-old played only 45 minutes before being withdrawn due to an ankle injury, and his display was labeled as “disappointing” by Italian media outlet Sportface.
Gnonto was given a rating of 5/10, the lowest among his teammates, and was accused of wasting two chances during the game. His injury will likely be a concern for Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, who will be eager to assess the extent of the injury and determine the best course of action for Gnonto’s recovery.
The injury comes at an inopportune time for Leeds United, who are pushing for promotion in the EFL Championship. Gnonto has been an important player for the team, and his absence could be felt in the coming weeks. Farke will likely need to adjust his team’s plans and rely on squad depth to ensure that they remain competitive in Gnonto’s absence.
Gnonto’s future at Leeds United has been the subject of speculation, with some reports suggesting that he may be surplus to requirements. However, Farke has expressed his trust in the young Italian, stating that he has been impressed with his development and is happy with his progress.
Despite this, Gnonto has mainly been used as a substitute since the turn of the year, and his game time has not improved significantly. His injury may provide an opportunity for other players to step up and stake their claim for a starting spot.
Leeds United fans will be hoping that Gnonto’s injury is not too serious and that he can return to action soon. The team is currently top of the Championship table, and they will need all their key players to be fit and available if they are to maintain their promotion push.
