Leeds United's Joe Rodon: Out 8-10 weeks

Rotowire ·

Rodon (hamstring) will be sidelined for eight-to-10 weeks with a serious hamstring injury, according to coach Daniel Farke, per Leeds Live. "Bad news with Joe. Serious hamstring injury. Out for eight to 10 weeks."

Analysis:

Rodon's injury is a significant blow to Leeds after the center-back was forced off just 34 minutes into Sunday's draw against Brentford. The confirmed timeline will keep him out of Saturday's clash against Brighton and potentially through much of the next two months. Nico Elvedi, who replaced Rodon against Brentford and earned praise from manager Daniel Farke, is expected to step into the starting XI at center-back during his extended absence.
