Ilia Gruev Resumes Training with Leeds

Bulgarian international Ilia Gruev has returned to full training with Leeds United, the English club confirmed. The midfielder had been sidelined with a knee injury sustained in April, which kept him out for the remainder of last season.

Manager Daniel Farke commented on the Bulgarian's condition ahead of the team's upcoming fixture.

“Last week Ilia was partially integrated, and now he's fully back in team training. There's no reaction with the knee; he looks good on the training pitch. This game comes a bit too soon for him,” Farke stated on the club's official website.

On Tuesday, Leeds will travel to face Nottingham Forest in a second-round Carabao Cup tie.
