£10 million Leeds United star suffers serious injury

Leeds United have been struggling with injuries all season, and have been handed some more bad news recently.

Daniel Farke has been forced into signing a free agent in October, not a situation any manager really wants to be in at any point in truth. This was down to injuries for Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev ravaging the midfield options at his disposal and made worse by the loss of Max Wober.

Leeds United fans have been boosted by the form of Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell in those spots but their squad depth has certainly been ravaged by these injuries.

Things were made worse against Watford when Largie Ramazani, who was having a field day at Elland Road and had fired the West Yorkshire side 1-0 up after four minutes, limped off with ankle injury which will keep him on the sidelines for four to six weeks in another massive blow.

Now though, a £10 million rated Leeds United star has picked up a “serious injury.”

Leeds United star sidelined with serious injury

Despite signing for Leeds United in  2022, Rasmus Kristensen has only played 26 games for the club, but his value is now more in what he can be sold for, especially given his experience.

The right-back starred for Roma on  loan last year and is currently playing for Eintracht Frankfurt where he is set to join permanently at the end of the year.

Kristensen seemed to be in good form up until recently when questions were raised about him in a European midweek fixture and making matters worse, he has now picked up a muscle injury that might sideline him for a while.

Frankfurter Rundschau reported that Kristensen was clutching his hamstring and struggling around the pitch, raising concerns about a “serious” muscle injury.

The outlet reported: “Eintracht Frankfurt has to accept a serious setback. In the Bundesliga game against the 1. FC Union Berlin had to right-back Rasmus Kristensen already in the 38th. minute due to injury. In a defensive action, the newcomer suffered a muscle injury in the left back of the thigh.”

The injury is the latest concern that the fee agreed for Kristensen may be lowered or his permanent move could be abandoned all together per reports which would be a major set back for the club.
