Impact Stach is going to miss the end of the season after suffering an ankle injury, needing stitches, and not being risked in the season finale.

Left out of Germany squad Stach (ankle) was not called up by Germany for the World Cup and remains a doubt for Sunday's season finale against West Ham.

Impact Stach had been stretchered off during the Brighton fixture with a painful ankle injury, and his omission from manager Julian Nagelsmann's squad is a deeply disappointing outcome for a player who had been pushing hard to earn a place in the tournament roster after returning ahead of schedule from a previous ankle ligament issue. The midfielder's availability for Sunday's final fixture of the Leeds United season will be assessed over the coming days, with the club monitoring his condition before making any decisions on his involvement against West Ham.

Impact Stach was visibly in significant pain as the stretcher was called for, with the sight of blood adding to the concern surrounding the nature of the injury. The timing could not be worse for the midfielder, who had only recently returned ahead of schedule from an ankle ligament issue and was pushing to earn a place in Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann's World Cup squad. No details have been provided on the extent of the injury, and further examination will be required before a clearer picture emerges. With the tournament less than a month away, the next few days of testing will be crucial in determining whether Stach has any realistic chance of featuring for Germany this summer.

Impact Stach's early return was described as a special case by coach Daniel Farke, who acknowledged the medical staff had concerns about bringing him on at halftime given he had only returned to team training Friday. The German midfielder had been ruled out until May with the ankle ligament issue, making Sunday's appearance a notably accelerated recovery. Manager Daniel Farke added that he may have been forced to withdraw Stach had the match gone to extra time, underlining the cautious approach the club is taking with his workload. His availability going forward will depend on how he responds physically in the coming days.

Impact Stach was likely to miss another week of action, but it appears the club will now try to push for his return heading into Sunday's FA Cup semifinal. However, he remains doubtful, as even though he plays a major role in the midfield, they will not want to risk further injury by having him return too soon. There remains an outside chance he could play if training and testing go well, although there will remain a question of how many minutes he will be available for if he is deemed an option.

Still not in team training Stach (ankle) remains absent from team training, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Anton not back in team training."

The German midfielder has been one of Leeds' most important players this season with seven goal contributions across 25 starts, making his extended absence a significant blow for the club.

Impact Stach is going to need some time to recover and is eyeing around a three-week absence, as he is unlikely to see the field again until May. This will be a major loss for the club as they have to do without their leading midfielder, having started in 25 games this season while bagging seven goal contributions. His absence will open up more time for Ilia Gruev, Sean Longstaff and Ao Tanaka, as the club will hope they can remain out of the relegation zone without Stach.

Impact Stach is going to remain out for the upcoming match after he went down in FA Cup play last time out, still suffering from an ankle injury. Unfortunately for the club, this is a major loss, as they will have to do without their talisman in the midfield, needing to fill some big shoes while he is out. The hope now will be that this is only a short absence, as the club is still only four points above relegation, with Ilia Gruev likely to see more minutes due to Stach's absence.

Injured before halftime Stach was forced off the field in the 38th minute of Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty loss to Leeds United due to an apparent injury.

Impact Stach had to leave Sunday's FA Cup win before the halftime whistle even blew, as he suffered an apparent injury that made him exit the contest. Unfortunately for the club, this could be a major loss if he misses time, as he is a critical starter in the midfield for the club. With 25 starts in 26 appearances to go along with four goals and three assists, this will be a tough spot to fill if he remains out, with Ilia Gruev and Sean Longstaff as possible replacements.
