Nico Gonzalez (head), Jacob Ramsey (thigh), Amar Dedic (hamstring) and Anthony Elanga (unknown) all picked up injuries during, or unexpectedly missed, Monday’s defeat at Elland Road.
All four look set to miss Gameweek 5, along with Joelinton (unspecified), Dan Burn (ankle), Ewen Jaouen (ankle) and Will Osula (foot).
“Amar will be also not able to play on Saturday.” – Matthias Jaissle on Amar Dedic
“Unfortunately not! It doesn’t look that good for the Hull match, if I’m frank enough, but we’re still working on it. There are still two days left, and maybe there will be a miracle happening and that one or the other will join the squad. But for now, it doesn’t look that good.” – Matthias Jaissle on if there was any good news on injuries and if any players will return
“Still not a real update on Anthony. I have just spoken with him now. I think, in the next 30 minutes, he will have an MRI, so we will get more clarity then. We hope that it is not that serious.” – Matthias Jaissle on Anthony Elanga
