Leeds United’s rising star, Marley Wilson, is facing an extended spell on the sidelines, with Dr. Rajpal Brar predicting that the talented youngster is unlikely to return to action before the current season ends. According to the injury expert, it appears Wilson, aged 18, is dealing with a stress fracture in his back, a common occurrence among young footballers, which typically requires a recovery period of two to three months.

Dr. Brar, a renowned specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Science, shared his insights with MOT Leeds News, expressing his concerns about Wilson’s significant back injury and emphasizing the importance of a cautious approach to his rehabilitation. Given the nature of the injury, surgery is not expected, but Wilson is expected to miss a substantial amount of training time before he can fully return to the pitch.

Wilson’s absence will be keenly felt by the Leeds United under-18s team, where he has stood out as a top performer this season. With an impressive record of seven goals in eight games while being deployed across the front three positions, Wilson’s contribution has been invaluable to the squad, as highlighted by LUFC Youth. The club will now have to navigate through his absence and hope for a smooth recovery process that will see Wilson back in action for the upcoming season, including potential participation in pre-season training.
