Hi

Last years seeds have spent a good year growing away with one leaf per
seed. At the moment they are beginning to look a bit sick.

Is this (i) they are or (ii) natural part of the cycle and a new leaf
will appear in time?

natural part of the cycle. A new leaf will appear in time. Atm their
main aim is to produce a corm, and if you look carefully, you should
find some tiny corns, barely larger than millet grains and about the
same colour. Next year you'll get another leaf, and the corm with grow
to pea sized.
