Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has revealed the injury news around his squad ahead of their trip to Molineux to take on Wolves. The Whites are facing a real crisis ahead of the big game as two forwards are major doubt for the trip to the Black Country.
Four points from four games is not the worst of starts to the Premier League season for a Leeds side who are tipped to be in the relegation dogfight at the end of the year. However, the lack of goals and creativity in the Whites team has raised question marks about their ability to stay up.

Daniel Farke provides his Leeds team news ahead of Wolves trip
Leeds manager Farke has given his team news ahead of the big clash at Wolves, and admitted that Dan James remains a major doubt for this game after picking up an injury against Fulham.
However, more bad news has followed Leeds as the German coach revealed that Willy Gnonto has missed a few training sessions and is unsure about being on the trip to Wolves on Saturday.
“We have a few injury doubts for this game”, Farke said in a press conference.
“Daniel James is a major doubt. He is still struggling a bit with his hit in his core muscle, so a major doubt for this game.
“Also, Willy Gnonto is struggling with some calf problems. He has missed a few training sessions, so he is a major doubt.”
What are Farke’s options?
James was already expected to miss the game following his muscle injury, but Gnonto’s injury has thrown a wrench into Farke’s plans.
He was seen as the obvious attacking replacement for Brenden Aaronson on the right flank, but if he doesn’t travel to Molineux, it would be a major blow.
It could see Aaronson again start against a Wolves side who are low on confidence and would rather face the American than Gnonto in the Leeds attack.
Farke could also spring a shock on his opponents by bringing in Jack Harrison into the fold and playing him on the right side of the Leeds forward line.
