The French youngster was seen in training during Ruben Amorim’s first week in charge, featuring as one of the three central defenders in the new 3-4-3 system as he upped his recovery following a broken foot suffered in pre-season.
But there was surprise when the starting lineup and substitutes bench was named for the first game with Ipswich on Sunday afternoon and the 19-year-old wasn’t listed, sparking some concern that he may have suffered a setback.
However, writing on his Academy Scoop X account, club insider King revealed that no such setback has occurred and instead it was just a planned stage in the player’s comeback as they look to get him back up to full match fitness ahead of making his debut for the club.
“Regarding Leny Yoro’s absence from yesterday’s match-day squad, I’m reliably told no further set-backs have been suffered, rather he’s simply continuing his planned reintegration following the injury he sustained during pre-season.”
