The left-back was forced off at half-time vs Tottenham with a hamstring injury

Gabriel Gudmundsson’s hamstring injury is not severe and should heal in the coming days, according to Sweden boss Graham Potter.

The Leeds United left-back was forced off at half-time in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Gudmundsson has suffered two previous hamstring issues over the past eight months.

Daniel Farke told reporters post-match that he hoped to have the 27-year-old back in action after the international break and Potter has suggested his player could take to the field for his country over the next week.

He outlined that scans have shown Gudmundsson’s issue is only minor and he expects him to face Bosnia & Herzegovina in Saturday’s Nations League match. “He's OK,” he said, as per Fotbollskanlen.

“The X-ray went well, but we need to see him and go through a couple of days of recovery to make sure he's OK. He'll probably be on the field with the guys on Wednesday-Thursday. There's no problem.”

Asked if Gudmundsson could pay a part at the weekend, Potter replied: “Yes.” The wing-back will not come up against Leeds colleague Tarik Muharemovic, though, with the centre-back serving a yellow card suspension.

One Leeds teammate who is having a rest throughout the break is Anton Stach, who was not selected for Germany’s latest squad. The midfielder is nursing a broken little toe and forefinger.

Last week, Stach took to social media to express he felt he had been enduring a “difficult period” amid a lacklustre start to his personal season. Giving a glimpse behind the scenes, Farke explained: “He has two or three pieces of his body that are not ideal.

"We can't inject him for each and every training session. We can take his pain away with injections for the game, but obviously we can't do this more or less on each weekday.

"So for that, he's just doing individual programmes, doing rehab programmes where he doesn't have a tight football boot on but running shoes.

“Of course it's not ideal if you don't have the preparation, but that was the reason he was not involved in the starting lineups in the last weeks.

"But we still don't want to miss out on Anton, and we are all happy that he was willing to suffer and to sacrifice himself, even to have him on the bench.”

On a more positive note, Joe Rodon made his return from his long-term hamstring injury against Tottenham when coming on as a late substitute.

He has been selected for Wales duty this break, with Farke taking the stance that the games will be beneficial for him.
