Farke provides positive injury update on Leeds star | OneFootball

Daniel Farke says he hopes to have Joe Rodon back available within three weeks.

The defender suffered an ankle ligament injury in the draw with Sunderland.

But the Leeds boss says it is not as bad as first feared and that he is only expected to miss a maximum of three weeks.

“He will definitely miss the Liverpool game,” Farke said.

“The diagnosis is better than we were fearing straight after the game because it didn’t look good.

“But the assessment is an ankle ligament injury and normally you will be out with such an injury for around three weeks.

“We still have a bit of hope, because he’s a good healer and a strong boy, so perhaps there’s a chance to involve him even before, but at the moment I would say it’s realistic that he missed the FA Cup game and hopefully the other side of the FA Cup game we have him back pretty soon for the other games.”

Daniel James and Sean Longstaff also remain sidelined with their respective injuries but Farke has no new concerns for the clash with Liverpool.
