Leeds star set to return to training following injury

Daniel Farke says Lukas Nmecha is set to return to training this week, and could be involved against Sunderland.

The forward has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury.

But the Leeds boss says he is closing in on a return to action, though Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are still sidelined.

“No chance for Sean or for Daniel James,” Farke said.

“There’s a small chance for Lukas Nmecha to be involved. There’s some progress. I hope have him back in team training this week.

“If he comes through these sessions then he could definitely be a topic for the squad and he could travel with us but he’s more or less the only one from the long-term injuries that could perhaps feature in this game.”
