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."
Analysis:Gibbs-White picked up the issue after twisting his ankle, causing a slight overstretching of his MCL and subsequent knee pain. The midfielder has avoided structural damage but will be rested Tuesday rather than risk aggravating the issue. The club is working toward having Gibbs-White available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, though his status will depend on his progress over the coming days.
