Leeds United lead trainer Jesse Marsch has discovered that young striker Joe Gelhardt ought to be available to play in Saturday's Premier League conflict against Watford at Vicarage Road.
The 19-year-old was removed in the principal half of Monday night's Under-23s triumph against Crystal Palace with a minor leg injury, and he has since missed a couple of instructional courses.
Marsch has affirmed that Gelhardt is set to be accessible for determination at the end of the week, and with Patrick Bamford precluded for as long as about a month and a half, the youngster could be given just his third Premier League start of the season.
Marsch stated this in a public pre-match interview on Thursday.
With him, it's been so appalling: a back issue, a misleading COVID, this injury. We can re-think ourselves about players playing during the 23s, assuming they're required for the primary group. However, they need minutes, they need to try our style of play and it was truly significant for him to play in this [Under-23s] counterpart for us.
Marsch also provided an update on the injured trio: Bamford (foot), Tyler Roberts (hamstring), and Junior Firpo (knee), who have all begun their respective recovery programs, while Jamie Shackleton (calf) is re-visiting training.
Tyler, Junior, and Patrick are, on the whole, gaining great headway, and Jamie Shackleton is practically prepared to prepare, but not exactly. I consider the remainder of the players are all set, "the American added.
Marsch has as of late had the option to welcome back commander Liam Cooper and star midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who have both recuperated from hamstring wounds, and the pair are set to be involved on Saturday, with the last option expected to make his first start for the Whites since December last year.
Leeds right now sit sixteenth in the Premier League table, and they could move nine points clear of the assignment zone with a triumph away against Watford.
