Brighton and Leeds injury latest as Rodon blow, four out and two doubts | OneFootball

Leeds United head to Brighton on Saturday with both squads managing injuries, as Daniel Farke’s side look to extend an unbeaten start. Leeds have a perfect away record across all competitions, with two wins at Nottingham Forest in league and cup.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the 1-1 draw with Brentford came at a cost as Joe Rodon sustained a hamstring injury, though two new faces have since arrived before the window shut.

Brighton remain without Yankuba Minteh, who picked up a pre-season leg injury and is still expected to be out for several weeks. Stefanos Tzimas has not played since December due to an ACL injury and is unlikely to feature.

Kaoru Mitoma has been back on the grass after a hamstring problem that ruled him out of the World Cup, but coach Hurzeler urged patience late last month. Evan Ferguson continues his recovery from ankle surgery in March and is not expected back for the weekend.

Jack Hinshelwood, who scored twice on the opening weekend, is a doubt after a training setback and missed Sunday’s defeat to Chelsea. Hurzeler downplayed suggestions of a lengthy lay-off and said he would be assessed day by day.

Former Elland Road favourite Georginio Rutter also missed the Chelsea game with a minor issue, and was given a better chance of making the squad than Hinshelwood. A return could come this weekend.
