Leoni (undisclosed) is set for further assessment on his injury to decide the issue following his early exit against Southampton on Tuesday, according to manager Arne Slot. "Of course, he is down because for him it didn't feel good immediately, but this is something now we have to assess.

Instead of putting an exact month on it - October, November, December - I just want him back as quickly as possible. The medical guys and Kulusevski are working really hard on that. So, it's not tomorrow, but hopefully not too far away. Yes, there's a good chance for that [return before the end of the year]."
