Joe Rodon injury timeline for Leeds United and matches he could miss | OneFootball

Joe Rodon is sidelined by a serious hamstring injury and is set to miss eight to 10 weeks, with no game time before the next international break, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk.

The centre-back pulled up chasing a ball in the 1-1 draw with Brentford on 30 August at Elland Road, was replaced by Nico Elvedi and left the pitch visibly upset.

He has already missed Brighton, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace. Before November’s break, Leeds face five more, hosting Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur and travelling to Arsenal, Sunderland and Bournemouth.

An eight-week timeline points to 25 October, the trip to Sunderland, while 10 weeks lands on 8 November, the day after Tottenham at home, the final match before the pause.

If recovery leans towards 10 weeks, he could use the two-week interval as a mini pre-season and could target Chelsea on 21 November.

Leeds have defended well without him, with James Justin stepping in at right-sided centre-back. Gabriel Gudmundsson and loanee Melvin Bard cover left wing-back, Jayden Bogle holds the right, and centre-backs Nico Elvedi and Jaka Bijol offer flexibility if required.
