Leeds United: Fresh Georginio Rutter injury scare spotted for Daniel Farke in win v Swansea

Graham Smyth reports that Georginio Rutter, a forward for Leeds United, looked uncomfortable as he made his way down the tunnel following the Whites’ victory over Swansea City at halftime.

The French attacker was in discomfort after the first 45 minutes, according to a journalist for the Yorkshire Evening Post on Wednesday, February 14. He attempted to express his worries to performance coach Chris Domgalla.

Rutter was able to come back out for the second half but was also unhappy to be

substituted by Daniel Farke, with the German stopping the 21-year-old in his

technical area before he took his place on the bench in the Whites’ dugout.

Fresh Georginio Rutter concern emerges for Leeds United

Rutter may suffer yet another injury shortly after he seemed uneasy during the Leeds United striker’s warm-up prior to the Whites’ victory over Rotherham United at Elland Road on Saturday, February 10.

The 21-year-old overcame whatever problem he was having to play, just as he did against Swansea, but Leeds fans would be a little alarmed to see Rutter in discomfort so frequently, particularly at such an important juncture in the season.

Although the majority of people believe that Farke decided to bench the striker because Leeds was winning in South Wales, the most recent information raises doubts and may indicate that the German was actually controlling Rutter’s playing time to prevent more harm.

The Whites can’t afford to lose too many more attacking alternatives to the treatment table, especially with Patrick Bamford already out of the picture and looking to maintain their push for the automatic promotion spots.

Hopefully, Rutter’s most recent concern can be put to rest, and he’ll be ready to play against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, February 17.
