Farke gives injury updates on four Leeds stars ahead of FA Cup semi-final with midfielder confirmed to miss rest of the season

Leeds midfielder Ilia Gruev has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Boss Daniel Farke hopes to have him back in time for the start of pre-season, however.

“Sadly bad news for Ilia Gruev, his meniscus injury is confirmed,” Farke said.

“It will definitely keep him out for the whole season so he won’t be able to help us for the run in, in the FA Cup or also in the league.

“We expect to have him back more or less for pre-season, probably for the start of pre-season but he won’t feature anymore this season.

“It’s of course not ideal for us and we all feel for him.”

Farke does hope to have Jayden Bogle available, however, after he was forced off against Bournemouth with a foot injury.

“Jayden Bogle got a hit on his foot, it seems not to be too bad,” he said.

“We have to wait right now to see how quickly he can recover and I hope to have him available for the game on Sunday.”

But Sebastiaan Bornauw and Anton Stach are doubts for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
