Leeds United attacker Manor Solomon appeared to have suffered a mild injury back in February, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.

The injury expert claims that as he did not miss the Sheffield United game with a knock, despite being doubtful about it, it was a minor setback.

Since then, the Israel international has been a regular for the Whites in the EFL Championship.

Daniel Farke is unlikely to have selection restrictions over Manor Solomon

The 25-year-old has been a regular starter for Daniel Farke and played 84 minutes in the 2-2 draw against QPR as well.

It seems like the February knock has not derailed his fitness and the German is not expected to have any selection restrictions over him.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Dr Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Solomon: “He did suffer a knock in February that put him at risk to miss the next game, but he did end up playing that.

“At the time, the best case is just superficial bruising whereas the worst case is a bone bruise which is also known as a micro trabecular fracture in a sensitive area which can linger.

“However, it appeared to be a very mild one and he’s now at little to no risk of re-injury as he played nearly the full game over the weekend as well.“

Leeds United need Manor Solomon to begin firing on all cylinders

Currently, Leeds sit top of the Championship but are level on points with Sheffield United and just two ahead of Burnley.

They need to go on a winning run if they want to ensure promotion for next season.

Dr Brar pointed out that Solomon is expected to be back to full fitness now so it’s time he starts firing on all cylinders.

He’s not scored a goal or registered an assist since 11 February when Leeds beat Watford 4-0.

In that game, the 25-year-old scored and assisted as well and Farke will want more from him.
