Nahki Wells was allegedly removed from the game against Leeds United on October 7 when replays revealed an ankle twist, according to Phil Hay.
For Bristol City, the 33-year-old striker got the game going but had to leave after 26 minutes.
The journalist with the Athletic then saw video of him twisting his ankle.
“Elland Road favorite Nahki Wells down and needing treatment,” Hay posted on Twitter. Defeated Struijk in a fight and came off worse. 26th min. Replays revealed a painful ankle twist. He’s getting replaced.
signals of progress for Leeds
The dedicated Elland Road supporters will undoubtedly pray for Wells’ quick recovery as he appears to be sidelined for at least a while.
But it was a good home performance once again, and Daniel Farke would have been happy with a lot of what he saw.
The final score could have been more poignant, and Georginio Rutter will be hating himself for not scoring when he had the chance.
Apart than that, the alterations appeared to be beneficial, and Leeds appears to have a reasonable chance of finishing not just in the top six but also earning a spot in the straight promotion round.
The Whites are not far behind Leicester City, who seem to be head and shoulders above the competition, and anything is conceivable if they go on a strong run.
Players should avoid getting hurt during the international break so they can resume play at the end of October.
In unrelated Leeds United news, Phil Hay asserts that a Whites player has been the subject of long-term interest from prestigious European clubs, who are still keen to sign him.
