Gnonto Wilfried - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Looks shifty in Genoa contest Gnonto recorded five crosses (one accurate), two tackles (two won) and one corner and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Genoa.

Impact Gnonto drew his first start over Alieu Njie on the left flank and set a new season high in crosses, leading his side, but he wasn't too precise. He hadn't had any key passes in his previous outings. The two options will likely keep splitting time. He has notched three shots (one on target), nine crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (two won) in his four displays.

Available from bench Gnonto (hamstring) is available from the bench for Sunday's clash against Brentford.

Impact Gnonto returns to the squad after his hamstring injury kept him out of Leeds' last two matches, having only rejoined team training Friday. The winger isn't being rushed straight back into the starting XI but could earn minutes from the bench against Brentford. His pace, direct running and ability to operate across the attacking line give Leeds another dangerous option in the final third, and he should push for a larger role once fully up to speed.

Impact Gnonto remains out of team training as he continues his recovery from the hamstring injury suffered during preseason. The winger missed Saturday's season opener and will likely remain unavailable for Tuesday's cup match, though Farke indicated that his absence is not expected to be lengthy. Gnonto contributed one assist across 23 Premier League appearances last season in a rotational role, with Sunday's league clash against Brentford potentially offering his next opportunity to return.

Out against Nottingham Forest Gnonto is ruled out for Saturday's season opener against Nottingham Forest with a hamstring issue, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Willy Gnonto will miss this game [hamstring]."

Impact Gnonto had already been sidelined for the final preseason match against Augsburg after picking up the injury against Manchester United, and his continued absence now confirms he won't be ready for the start of the competitive campaign. He played a rotational role in Leeds' attack last season, contributing one assist across 23 Premier League appearances, and his recovery timeline should become clearer as the club continues managing the injury in the coming weeks.

Impact Gnonto finished last season with one assist across 23 Premier League appearances, playing a rotational role in Leeds' attack.

The winger has started four matches this season, and this was his fourth game as a substitute this year. This is the first time this season that he has created two chances, and he will aim to emulate his 2022/23 season in the Premier League, where he produced four assists.

Cautious in return Gnonto (groin) is avaialble for Sunday' s match against Aston Villa but is set for limited play, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Kaite Stafford of BBC.

Impact Gnonto has been recovering the past two months from a groin injury and finally appears to be fit again, with the attacker ready to play Sunday. However, the club is going to be cautious and limit him, likely to only earn time from the bench if he sees the field. He started in all three games to start the season, hoping to return to that spot once fully fit.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Gnonto (groin) is out for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Possibility against Nottingham Gnonto (groin) appears to be fit again but is a late call to be selected for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, accoridng to manager Daniel Farke. "He's been back in team tr...

Impact Gnonto has been battling mutliple injuries since mid-September but is finally back in the fold for the club after training the past two weeks, now available again. However, the attacker is still regaining fitness and the club seems to be unsure about his selection, possibly being held out until after the international break. Even if this is the case, his improvment in health is a step in the right direction, although they will hope he is already available to play with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (groin) also battling an injury and questionable.

Ruled out Saturday Gnonto (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

Impact Gnonto remains sidelined for Saturday's match as he continues to recover from a hernia that required surgery and kept him out for over a month. He only just returned to training this week and isn't yet deemed ready for match involvement. The Italian winger started three of the first four games this season and could push for a return to the squad once he's closer to full fitness.

Impact Gnonto has been out for over a month now as he recovers from a hernia that would eventually need surgery, just beginning to train this week. However, it seems to already be enough to be nearing a return, as he is already being considered to be selected. He started in three of their first four games to open the season, so this is solid news, although if he is fit, a depth position from the bench is more than likely.

Receives hernia surgery Gnoto (calf) has received hernia surgery and is out for the time being, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Gnonto won't be available, his calf problems are sorted, but he needed h...

Impact Gnoto has recovered from his calf injury but is heading back to the sidelines for a period of time, as the attacker suffered a hernia that required surgery. This is a brutal turn for the attacker after four games already missed, as he will now miss a few weeks to months recovering, likely eyeing the earliest return sometime in November. That said, the left flank should continue to be Noah Okafor's spot until Gnoto returns to contention.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Gnonto once again missed training this week and won't be available to face the Spurs just before the break. The Italian winger is set to miss a third straight contest, and the coaching staff will hope his calf injury improves during the break so he can be an option to face Burnley on Oct. 18 after the international break. Look for Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor to flank Joel Piroe upfront since Daniel James (undisclosed) is also out.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Bournemouth Gnonto (calf) is out for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Some bad news with Willy Gnonto, he won't make it. So still some problems with hi...

Impact Gnonto is not going to play again Saturday, with the attacker still dealing with a calf injury and not training this week. He will now focus on getting back into training next week and hopes to rejoin the team. He will then look to be fit for their match against Tottenham on Oct. 4, as he did start in the first three games of the season.

Ruled out against Wolves Gnonto (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves.

Impact Gnonto has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Wolves due to the calf injury he picked up this week. The forward was unable to train for several days and didn't pass the necessary tests to be included in the squad.

Suffers calf injury Gnonto is doubtful for Saturday's match against Wolves due to an injury, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Also, Willy is a doubt, struggling with some calf problems."

Impact Gnonto will be a late call and is questionable for Saturday, as the forward was dealt a calf injury this week and was unable to train for a few days. He will now need to go through some testing if he wants to play, possibly leaving the club without a starting forward. That said, if left out, Noah Okafor is a likely replacement on the left of the attack after he also started the last match in Gnonto's place.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in win Gnonto had three shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Gnonto took three shots but was frustrated for the most part throughout Monday's win. He offered threat off the wing and cause issues for the Everton backline, but he wasn't able to put any of his shots on net. His ability to beat his man and make space for himself were encouraging though, and showed some of his upside even against top flight opposition.

Ends season as backup Gnonto tallied two goals and four assists across 24 appearances (14 starts) in his rookie Premier League campaign.

Impact Gnonto started 10 straight EPL games coming out of the World Cup break mostly on the left wing, but the 19-year-old then started just three more games from March onwards as Leeds was relegated in his first season since joining from FC Zurich last summer.
