    Leeds star gets bruises and bleeding in first leg against Norwich

    Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto suffered “bruises and bleeding” against Norwich City on May 12, but manager Daniel Farke has stated he will be fit for the second play-off leg at Elland Road.

    According to Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Joe Donnohue, Farke did his best to keep Gnonto “fresh” for the crucial play-off semi-final on May 16.

    Gnonto had a mixed performance in the first leg at Carrow Road, being denied a penalty early on and looking dangerous on the counter-attack, but received a yellow card for dissent and was replaced midway through the second half.

    In his most recent updates, Farke stated that Gnonto “had some bruises and was also bleeding a little bit” after the first leg.

    Wilfried Gnonto must do better for Leeds United in the second leg.

    Leeds United are level in their play-off semi-final against Norwich after drawing 0-0 in the ‘first half’ at Carrow Road.

    The other semi-final, between Southampton and West Brom, also ended goalless at The Hawthorns, leaving all four promotion-chasing teams with everything to play for in the critical second leg.

    Gnonto, who received an unnecessary yellow card for clapping in response to a soft refereeing decision, may have been withdrawn by Farke for fitness reasons, but it’s evident the German was also concerned about the possibility of a second booking for the livewire Italian forward.

    At Carrow Road, the Whites opened with a new-look 4-3-3 formation, with Gnonto on the right of a front three that also included Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville, but none of the three could make much of an impact in a packed final-third struggle.

    With the second leg at Elland Road quickly approaching, Farke will be hoping that having a home crowd behind Gnonto will help to keep the 20-year-old’s frustrations at bay, and the Italian international must rise to the occasion if he is to help Leeds break their play-off curse and reach Wembley.
