Fortunately, Arne Slot has no further injury problems, besides overseeing a permanent turnaround in form. Although he does have a few players to manage on Wednesday evening.
With cramps and minutes returning from injury to consider, here’s who is and who is not available for the visit of Sunderland:
First of all, Slot noticed that Isaac “felt a bit of a cramp” after his goal-scoring performance last weekend, meaning his role will be determined by his performance in training on Tuesday.
The Swede is available, but the fit Hugo Ekitike could earn a starting spot after making two appearances off the bench in the last three games.
Kerkez was another to suffer from cramp after three consecutive starts, and that could pave the way for Andy Robertson’s return to the line-up, although Slot did not comment on the left-back position ahead of the match.
Florian Wirtz And Joe Gomesmeanwhile, are in contention, but Slot noted that neither the duo, nor Isak, likely can’t “play three 90 minutes.”
“All three of them could be involved in all three games. If they don’t get injured, that’s a reasonable assumption,” he explained.
Whether they will start against Sunderland, at Leeds, or even both remains to be seen, but their availability ensures Slot at least has options and flexibility.
There was positive news Bradley‘s comeback, with the right-back expected to be available for selection at Leeds on Saturday following a return to parts of the team’s training on Monday.
Frimpongon the other hand, will return to training next week after eight games with a hamstring injury. Finally some good news on the right back front!
