Speaking to the media, Daniel Farke has provided an update into his squad’s availability ahead of facing Brentford on Sunday in our first fixture at Elland Road of the Premier League campaign.

During his pre-match press conference, the boss issued encouraging insights into three players’ progress after they have had to endure spells on the sideline through injury.

Beginning with Bulgarian international Ilia Gruev, the manager said: “Yes, Ilia, after his long-term injury right now is in the second week of training together with the team. So, he is edging closer and closer.

“Also, some good news with Gabi Gudmundsson and Willy Gnonto. As it stands, they will join us this afternoon also for the first time after their injuries in team training. Then, we have to wait how their body reacts.

“Obviously we just have two days, more or less, but definitely good news. So, as it stands, all players are available.”
