Story summary

Daniel Farke, the head coach of Norwich City, confirmed that three Leeds United players—Joe Rodon, Daniel James, and possibly Harry Wilson—could miss their upcoming game against Arsenal in London due to injuries. While Rodon has returned to individual training after a lay-off, he will not travel for the match. James is currently out with a back injury sustained during his national team duties. Meanwhile, Wilson, who recently rejoined team training following a muscle injury, may still be unfit for the game despite making good progress in recovery. Farke also noted that Jean-Mickael Mbeumo has recovered from an ankle strain and could be available for the match against Arsenal, which is significant as Leeds' absentees include key players who have started multiple league matches this season.
