Leeds United defender Cody Drameh picks up fresh knee injury
Leeds United have yet another injury problem to report from within their squad, with Cody Drameh the latest victim.
The young right-back is the latest to earn his debut in the first-team, starting against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and then coming off the bench in the win at Norwich.
Drameh has been missing recently, though and it was revealed on Monday that he has picked up a knee problem to continue the run of bad luck in the squad.
Mark Jackson confirmed the news to Leeds Live after the disappointing defeat for the under-23s against Manchester City on Monday evening.
“Cody’s alright, he’s managing his knee at the minute so he’s just working with the medical team to get that right,” he said.
“Don’t think there’s a major problem with that.”
One in, one out.
Thankfully, Luke Ayling was back and reporting for the under-23s as he continues his recovery from his own knee problem.
The experienced right-back should be back on Sunday for the visit of Brentford to Elland Road, and that will be a huge boost for the squad.
After 45 minutes last night, he could also make the bench this evening against Crystal Palace, but it should be way too early for any kind of start.
Drameh will be frustrated as he has missed his chance to take that spot at right-back, with Jamie Shackleton also having his injury problems in recent months.
It looks as though it won’t be too long on the sidelines though, and hopefully, he’ll be back flying down the right sooner rather than later.
