Leeds United\u2019s<\/a> trip to Wolves<\/a> this weekend is must-win territory for both sides after a mixed start to the season, but the hosts are facing injury issues, namely for J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four points from four games for Daniel Farke is a respectable return. However, it\u2019s one that may come under serious scrutiny quite quickly.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because we\u2019ve seen the same weaknesses again at the weekend with United falling to defeat at Craven Cottage. That weakness being a lack of goals, thankfully one shared by this week\u2019s opposition, Wolves.<\/p>\n

J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen injury update confirmed, Wolves star set to miss Leeds United clash<\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 next match is simply a must-win. If they don\u2019t want to get sucked to the bottom end of the table, travelling to Molineux against Wolves needs to bring maximum points, really.<\/p>\n

Their opponents themselves will see this game as crucial too. Wolves are yet to collect a point after four successive defeats to start the season.<\/p>\n

Vitor Pereira hasn\u2019t been helped by the absence of his star striker, J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen. The Norwegian joined permanently from Celta Vigo in the summer for \u00a323million<\/a>, and his club set a \u00a360million asking price<\/a> as Newcastle United came calling, and ultimately failing.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen netted 14 last season, and alongside losing Matheus Cunha to Manchester United, Pereira hasn\u2019t been able to call upon his leading marksman yet. That doesn\u2019t look likely to change as Leeds travel to the Black Country on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDay by day, it\u2019s his Achilles tendon, we cannot push, we need to be patient,\u201d Pereira explained about Strand Larsen\u2019s injury, after defeat at Newcastle United \u2013 per Nathan Judah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Injury expert Ben Dinnery<\/a> has Strand Larsen \u201cruled out\u201d for this weekend\u2019s game. He expects the Norwegian to return next week, after Leeds\u2019 clash with Wolves.<\/p>\n

Leeds United must capitalise on Wolves\u2019 Strand Larsen injury update<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This game has to be a win for Leeds. We must ensure we aren\u2019t playing catchup heading into the tough run of games in November and December.<\/p>\n

Wolves, meanwhilem, are currently looking weak and we might be playing them at the best time. The issue is they might be saying the same about Leeds.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen\u2019s ongoing injury is actually a major boost for Leeds, and Wolves struggling for goals is something we could do with continuing.<\/p>\n
