Injury Updates: Stach, Rodon, Gudmundsson, Bijol Ahead of Gameweek 32
Leeds United face a hit to their squad for Gameweek 32 after a string of injuries. Filmogaz.com offers Injury Updates: Stach, Rodon, Gudmundsson, Bijol Ahead of Gameweek 32. Farke addressed the injury situation on Thursday.
Key absences
Midfielder Anton Stach and defender Joe Rodon will miss Monday’s match. Both suffered ankle problems after the cup game. Farke said the injuries look ligament-related and that a return in April is unlikely, with May more realistic.
The medical team will try to accelerate rehabilitation. Any earlier return would be a bonus.
- Anton Stach — ankle injury sustained after the cup game; will miss Gameweek 32 and likely out until May.
- Joe Rodon — ankle issue from the cup match; also expected back in May at the earliest.
- Daniel James — adductor strain suffered in training before the cup tie; unavailable for Monday.
Doubts and fitness concerns
Noah Okafor, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jaka Bijol remain doubts for the Old Trafford trip. If the match were tomorrow, none would be available.
Okafor has back problems and missed team training. Gudmundsson returned from internationals with a light groin problem but has made some progress. Bijol has a knock and has not yet rejoined team sessions.
Farke said he is hopeful all three will be ready for Monday’s game. Extra days before the match give the squad more recovery time.
Outlook
The club also accept it is unlikely Stach or Rodon will feature in Double Gameweek 33. More updates will follow as the medical team reports progress.
