Leeds United are facing a midfield crisis with key players Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev sidelined until January 2025.
The club is now considering recalling Darko Gyabi, currently on loan at Plymouth Argyle, to provide extra cover.
The 20-year-old has been impressive under Wayne Rooney, starting 11 games this season.
Leeds may explore breaking his loan deal early or look into free-agent options like Cheikhou Kouyate.
However, it remains unclear if the recall can happen immediately.
Injuries Force Leeds to Look for Solutions
With Ampadu and Gruev both out, Joe Rothwell and Ao Tanaka have been filling the gap.
Yet, Daniel Farke’s squad is running thin, and Leeds may need more experienced players.
Young Talent or Loan Recall?
Charlie Crew, a Leeds youngster, could also be an option. However, Gyabi’s strong form on loan makes him a promising choice.
If a recall clause is triggered, Gyabi could step in to support the midfield.
Leeds are exploring every avenue to strengthen their squad amidst injuries, with the Gyabi recall being a potential short-term solution.
