Injury Latest: Will Somma recover from his latest setback?

Striker Davide Somma’s future at Leeds United is in doubt after he suffered another injury setback.

Somma was left out of todays squad at ST Andrews, after the game boss Brian McDermott confirmed that the striker had a reaction in his knee, which now requires surgery.The news comes only days after Somma came on as a substitute in the 1-0 victory against Burnley.

It has been almost 2 years since Leeds fans witnessed the real Davide Somma, christened by some as Leeds’ ‘super sub’ player, with the ability to change games almost instantaneously. Neil Warnock constantly moaned about the squad lacking someone with the quality of Somma, and it looks like the South African may never bear the famous White shirt again. Boss McDermott will have only briefly seen Somma in training, but with his contract running out in a few weeks time, it seems very unlikely that the injury prone striker will be offered a new deal.

All of us LUFC fans wish Davide the best of recoveries, and hope to see him scoring goals in the near future, whether that may be at another club or at Leeds.
