Gnonto recovered from the calf issues he was having before the international break but then had minor hernia surgery during the break itself. Farke was hoping to have the Italian back for West Ham's visit but the Italian was not able to complete whole team training and failed to make the matchday squad. He has, though, now returned to training and Farke says he is available for this weekend but not as an option to start given his long lay off. A contender for the bench.placeholder image

Four men are doubtful and three out of Leeds United’s trip to Brighton.

Fresh team news has been provided for Leeds United’s next game of the Premier League season at Brighton - for which three men are out and four more doubtful but with key men now back.

Daniel Farke’s Whites will be heading to the south coast for their tenth game of the campaign in a 3pm kick-off at the Amex against Fabian Hurzeler’s side on Saturday afternoon.

Brighton face a tight around for the fixture which will end a busy week following Saturday evening’s 4-2 defeat at Premier League hosts Manchester United and Wednesday night’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.

It’s a different story for Leeds who have had a free midweek following last Friday night’s 2-1 win at home to West Ham United for which Farke had key men out.

Seagulls boss Hurzeler also had key men missing for last weekend’s trip to Old Trafford and also for the midweek cup tie against the Gunners.

Fresh team news has now emerged from both camps this week and here we run through the very latest injury news for both sides.

Experienced Brighton winger March is another who remains on the longer term comeback trail from a knee injury. Boss Hurzeler said last month that March wasn't that close to making a return.

Now 39, the midfielder suffered what Hurzeler said was a small muscle injury in the closing stages of the defeat at Old Trafford, after which Milner was ruled out of the midweek cup tie against the Gunners. Milner has now been ruled out of Saturday's visit of Leeds too.

United's German international midfielder Stach had been struggling with rib pain and suffered a fresh blow to his ribs ahead of the visit of West Ham. Farke said the German was really struggling on game day and the midfielder dropped to the bench, on which he was an unused sub. Stach, though, is also now back in the mix for this weekend.
