Wilfried Gnonto will return to Leeds United this week with what looks like a sprained ankle after limping out of Italy’s clash with Malta on Sunday evening. The forward started the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match in Ta’ Qali, which Italy won 2-0, but his night was brought to a premature end in the 22 nd minute as he left the field with an injury.
Gnonto could be seen receiving treatment on his right ankle and he looked uncomfortable as he was replaced by Vincenzo Grifo on what was his 10 th appearance for his country. It comes after what was a hugely impressive showing against England on Thursday night with Gnonto picking up plenty of plaudits for his cameo off the bench.
The teenager will now return to Thorp Arch for further assessment and treatment and Leeds’ medical staff will be keeping a close eye on his progress this week.
