Interesting Leeds United injury update shared ahead of Sunderland clash in Championship

Leeds United defender Connor Roberts may not yet be ready to start against Sunderland, according to reports.

The Welshman returned to Daniel Farke’s squad in their 2-1 defeat against Coventry City on Saturday and played the second half at the CBS Arena after coming on at right-back.

However, Phil Hay of The Athletic has suggested that the Burnley loanee might not yet be fit to start against Sunderland on Tuesday at Elland Road with such a quick turnaround between games.

Speaking on The Square Ball he said: “That would seem to me, with Gray pushing into midfield, like an easy change to make. The only question I think will be how long Roberts can play for.

“He went for 45 minutes today, but Farke was saying they were really pushing him to the maximum by doing that because I think he’d only had one training session before the weekend, but that’s probably the area to keep an eye on.”
