Javi Gracia suggests £20k-a-week Leeds player could start against Fulham

Javi Gracia has suggested that Leeds United s🐎tar Wilfried Gnonto will be ready to start against Fulﷺham on Saturday.

Leeds will be looking to bounce back from consecutive home defeats this weekend. Gracia’s men shipped a total of 11 goals against Crystal Palace and Liverpool, putting a ma♔ssive dent in their hopes of Premier League survival. 

The Whites had been without Wilfried Gnonto earlier thisಞ month after the youngster had picked up an ankle injury.

He’s been a real bright spark for Leeds this season, but he’🙈s found himself on the bench for the last three Premier League games since returning.

Now, Javi Gracia has suggested that he was easing Gnonto 🐻back after his injury and that he is now ready to start.

Gracia suggests Gnonto is ready to start

Speaking to the media ahead of Saturday’s game, Gracia provided an update on Gnonto’🍸s fitness.

“Gnonto is rea𒁏dy,” the Leeds boss sai൲d. “He had a little issue, he had some problem, now he’s ready, he’s training from the last few weeks.

“I tried to protect him a little bit and now he’ജs aꦯvailable.” as quoted by .

Gnonto’s emergence as a first-team player had come as a real surprise this season as he was previous🦩ly vi🅷ewed as a prospect for the future.

But tꦰhe winger is undoubtedly one of Leeds’ most dangerous attacking players.

At just 19, Gnonto could play a key role in keeping Leeds in the Premie▨r League beyond the end of the campaign and it would be a surprise if he doesn’t come back into the starting line-up this weekend.
