Progressing, still doubtful
Gudmundsson (groin) is doubtful for Monday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Gabi has made some progress. He came back with some light groin problems after the international games, so he is making light progress. [He is a] doubt. So, if you would play the game already tomorrow, then [he] wouldn't be available. We have a bit more time, and I am hopeful that I have [him] ready."
Analysis: Gudmundsson is still dealing with his injury and is not yet cleared for play despite the injury now being deemed minor. This leaves his status as they head into the weekend up in the air, as the defender could be set to miss a third straight game. The club continues to lose defensive options, so this is a worrying sight if he cannot play, already without Joe Rodon (foot) and having Jaka Bijol (back) doubtful. He will probably need to pass some testing to play, with James Justin a replacement again if unable to start or left out.
Dealing with minor groin issue
Gudmundsson was held out of Sunday's FA Cup clash against West Ham United after reporting a minor groin problem following his international duty with Sweden, according to Kyle Newbould of the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Analysis: Gudmundsson played twice to help Sweden secure World Cup qualification during the break, and the club opted not to risk him with the groin complaint rather than compound the issue. The left-back is targeting a return for next Monday's Premier League clash against Manchester United, giving him a full week to recover. James Justin is expected to cover on the left flank in his absence if needed, with Leeds United keen to have Gudmundsson back and firing for the final stretch of the season.
