Leeds United confirm top scorer Machado will miss up to 2 months due to injury
2023-02-03 13:22The Premier League Leeds United Club officially confirmed today that 31-year-old forward Rodrigo Moreno Machado underwent surgery for an ankle injury and will be out for up to 2 months.
In Leeds United's 3-1 defeat to Arrington Stanley in the FA Cup fourth round last Saturday, Machado was forced to leave the field after injuring his ankle after being tackled by a defender.
The club also released Machado's injury today, saying that the Spanish international suffered bone and ligament injuries in that game and had to undergo repair surgery.
It is worth mentioning that Machado contributed 12 goals and 1 assist in 22 games this season, becoming Leeds United's top scorer this season.
Leeds United's relegation battle takes a hit
The club also added that according to the medical team's rehabilitation plan, Machado is expected to return to training at the end of March, which means that the top scorer is likely to return in the Premier League against top Arsenal on April 1.
However, before that, Machado needs to miss more than 8 games of Leeds United, including Manchester United, which is in full swing next Thursday.
Leeds United currently ranks 15th in the Premier League standings with a record of 4 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. They have only won 2 games in the past 16 league games. Since Leeds United defeated Bournemouth in early November, they have not scored 3 points without opening the door. They are only one point away from falling into the relegation zone. Let Leeds United's relegation battle this season worse.
