The Taelman–Leopoldt conjecture for Drinfeld modules

Let KK be a global QQ-field, let EE be a Drinfeld AA-module over OK\mathcal{O}_K, and let p\mathfrak{p} be a prime of AA. Write SpS_{\mathfrak{p}} for the set of places of KK above p\mathfrak{p}, U(E/OK)U(E/\mathcal{O}_K) for the group of units of EE over OK\mathcal{O}_K, and E(OK,v)E(\mathcal{O}_{K,v}) for the local points at vv. Taelman–Leopoldt conjecture. The natural homomorphism

ApAU(E/OK)vSpApA^E(OK,v)A_{\mathfrak{p}} \otimes_A U(E/\mathcal{O}_K) \to \bigoplus_{v \in S_{\mathfrak{p}}} A_{\mathfrak{p}} \otimes_{\hat{A}} E(\mathcal{O}_{K,v})

is injective. This is the Drinfeld-module analogue of Leopoldt's conjecture; the source presents it as a natural analogue, but the supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence for its status.
