Gibbs-White (knee) will miss Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash against Leeds United but could return for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Gibbs-White will miss tomorrow's game. He got the ball and twisted his ankle, so the MCL was a little bit overstretched and he has some pain in his knee. There is no structural damage, but there's no point in risking him tomorrow. We're working really hard to get him fit for the Liverpool game on Saturday, but he can't make tomorrow's game."
