Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has revealed that midfielder Ao Tanaka is set to be out for several weeks with a knee injury.
It comes as another blow for Farke and Leeds after skipper Ethan Ampadu was ruled out until after the international break with an ankle injury.
And speaking after Leeds’ Carabao Cup exit on penalties to Sheffield Wednesday, Farke revealed Tanaka has suffered an MCL injury in his knee.
Farke did not put an exact timeline on Tanaka’s recovery, but said he will be out at least until after the upcoming international break, which starts next week.
