Leeds United’s Left-Back Sensation Stays Silent On His Return: Is He Already Done For The Season?
Gabriel Gudmundsson has finally broken his silence on the injury that sidelined him during Leeds United’s FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea. Speaking to Swedish outlet Hallandsporten after Graham Potter named him in Sweden’s 26-man World Cup squad, the left-back was careful not to give too much away. “It’s nothing that I can comment on,” he said when asked about the hamstring issue. For a player who is usually so open, that kind of vague response is telling.
Gabriel Gudmundsson refuses to rule himself out, but his silence says plenty
Gudmundsson wasn’t on the pitch for the recent win over Burnley or the draw against Spurs as Leeds nailed down their Premier League survival. Even so, he’s adamant he’ll be fit for international duty. “I’ve been in close contact with the national team staff and I’ll be 100% ready when the squad meets up on May 27th,” he promised.
Interestingly, he talked about his time at Elland Road this year as if it were already over. “I had a great season in Leeds where we secured the contract,” he noted, which makes it feel like he’s played his last minute of the current campaign. Leeds United still have and left on the calendar, but with safety guaranteed, Daniel Farke has no reason to risk him.
