"Let the one who said there was a scandal explain. Do you think that if he had any problems, he would have been in the squad? After his injury, he played one of his strongest matches for the national team. Understand me as you wish. I said what I said. The important thing is that every profession is difficult, but especially ours is public. Despite the efforts made, you are still the most guilty of something."
"While the scandal stole headlines, the bigger concern for Leeds could be Gruev's fitness. He featured for 45 minutes despite carrying a knock, which suggests the injury is not severe, but he will be assessed upon his return to England. Manager Daniel Farke now faces a growing headache. Should Gruev be ruled out, Leeds will be desperately short in central midfield."
Ilia Gruev was reported to have strongly criticized teammates and head coach Illian Illiev after Bulgaria's 3-0 defeat to Spain, prompting claims he unsettled the squad and was initially left out of the Georgia matchday lineup. The Bulgarian Football Association intervened and Gruev remained in the squad; Illiev kept him on the bench before introducing him at halftime in the 3-0 loss to Georgia. Illiev downplayed the situation and defended squad selection. Leeds United are concerned about Gruev's fitness after he played 45 minutes while carrying a knock and will assess him on return, leaving midfield depth uncertain.
