Sport nationLeeds United Set to Welcome Back Two Injured Players Amid Sheffield United Team News
Leeds United is expected to welcome back Manor Solomon and Daniel James for their upcoming match against Sheffield United. Both players have been out injured, with James re-injuring a hamstring problem during rehabilitation and Solomon missing the last three Leeds outings due to a back issue and hamstring injury.
James has not featured since before last month’s international break, while Solomon sat out October fixtures against Iceland and Montenegro to expedite his comeback. Both players have rejoined team training this week.
The return of Solomon and James will boost Leeds United’s attacking options. The duo is renowned for their speed and ability to turn defense into attack. According to Opta, Leeds has already registered the most ‘fast-break’ goals (4) in the Championship this season.
However, there is no guarantee that either player will make an immediate return to the starting lineup. Willy Gnonto has been in form, managing two goals and four assists, and Largie Ramazani has impressed with two goals and one assist since arriving from Almeria.
Gnonto and Ramazani are likely to retain their places in the attacking lineup, with Solomon and James potentially named on the substitutes bench. Provided Gnonto comes through Italy’s Under-21 European Championship qualifier unscathed, Leeds United’s attacking elements may remain unchanged.
The return of Solomon and James will be a welcome boost to manager Daniel Farke and Leeds fans, particularly given the lengthy injury lay-offs of Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
Leeds United’s injury news:
- Manor Solomon: back and hamstring issues
- Daniel James: re-injured hamstring problem
- Ethan Ampadu: out until the New Year

Sheffield United team news:
- Chris Wilder’s side will face Leeds United on Friday

Leeds United’s Championship campaign:

The match against Sheffield United promises to be an exciting encounter. With Solomon and James returning to the fold, Leeds United will look to continue their strong start to the season.
As the team prepares for Friday’s match, fans will be eagerly awaiting the lineup announcement. Will Solomon and James make an immediate impact, or will Farke opt for caution?
One thing is certain: Leeds United’s attacking options have just received a significant boost. The return of Solomon and James will be crucial in the club’s pursuit of Championship success.
