Impact Gudmundsson had missed both the season opener and the EFL Cup match against Nottingham Forest with his hamstring injury, and this planned return to training marks his first step back after an extended absence. James Justin figures to continue deputizing at left back until Gudmundsson works his way back to full sharpness.

Impact Gudmundsson remains sidelined from training after missing the season opener due to his hamstring injury, making a return Tuesday unlikely. The left-back is not expected to be out much longer, though he will need to resume team training before returning to contention. James Justin is expected to continue deputizing at left-back during his absence.

Out for season opener Gudmundsson (hamstring) will miss Saturday's season opener against Nottingham Forest due to a hamstring issue, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Willy Gnonto will miss this game [h...

Impact Gudmundsson had been facing a recovery window of around four weeks, a timeline that always made the opener unlikely, and Farke had already flagged the possibility he could miss the first one or two matches of the campaign. His absence is a real blow given how key he was defensively last season, racking up 65 tackles and 27 interceptions across 32 appearances at left back, and Leeds' lack of depth at wing back means James Justin is expected to deputize until Gudmundsson returns or reinforcements are added before the window closes.

Facing four week absence Gudmundsson (hamstring) could be facing around four weeks out with a suspected hamstring injury, making him likely to miss the season opener at Nottingham Forest, according to coac...

Impact Gudmundsson's defensive output last season, 65 tackles and 27 interceptions across 32 appearances, including 31 starts, made him a key fixture at left back, and his absence is a notable blow given the lack of depth at wing back, with Leeds United now looking to add a backup option before the window closes. James Justin is expected to start in his place until Gudmundsson returns or reinforcements arrive. No official diagnosis has been confirmed, though the injury is suspected to be a hamstring issue.

Awaits assessment Gudmundsson was forced off during Sunday's friendly against Liverpool due to a hamstring issue, he said to the media, according to Leeds Zone. "It was a feeling on the back of my t...

Impact Gudmundsson played 35 minutes before the discomfort forced him off, continuing a pattern of hamstring related issues that have troubled him before, which could lead the club to manage his return carefully with an eye on the Premier League opener on Aug. 22. The upcoming assessment should provide more clarity on the severity of the issue as Leeds United continues its preseason preparations. If he had to miss the opener and can't recover in time, James Justin would be the likely option to step in his spot on the left flank.

Suffers hamstring issue Sunday Gudmundsson exited with an apparent muscle discomfort during the first half of Sunday's friendly clash against Liverpool, Isaac Johnson of Leeds United Live reports.

Impact Gudmundsson logged 35 minutes on the field before picking up a pain during the offseason match. The left-back has struggled with other hamstring issues before, which could force the team to manage his return carefully, focusing on the start of the new EPL season on Aug. 22. However, the extent of the blow remains unknown. Center-back Sebastiaan Bornauw took his place against Liverpool, with James Justin moving to the left flank, which has been the usual adjustment whenever the Swede is not healthy.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Active at left-back Gudmundsson logged two tackles won, two interceptions and one clearance during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.

Impact For the World Cup, Gudmundsson's multiple tackles won and interceptions mark his tournament-high. Overall, the defender logged 10 clearances, four interceptions, three tackles won and three blocks. Each of Sweden's games included Gudmundsson, who logged different positions all but once. After the Netherlands hammered Sweden, he was shifted from wingback to center-back. Against the French, Gudmundsson only logged left-back minutes.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Busy defensively in draw Gudmundsson generated one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan.

Impact Gudmundsson made his third start of the World Cup group stage and, for the second game in a row, played for more than 85 minutes. He took one corner for Sweden as they drew with Japan. They will hope this is enough to qualify as a best third-placed team. He also drew three fouls, made three clearances and two blocks.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sees yellow in loss Gudmundsson recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Netherlands. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.

Impact Gudmundsson created one chance and was given a yellow card during Saturday's loss. He's now at risk of a suspension if he's given another yellow card in the final match of the group stage. He failed to send in an accurate cross during the match as Sweden were routed. Gudmundsson will get the chance to bounce back in the final match of the group.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Expected available after cramp Gudmundsson (cramp) was forced off in the 65th minute of Sweden's 5-1 victory over Tunisia but coach Graham Potter played down any injury concerns after the match, per Leeds live....

Impact Gudmundsson had already been managing a hamstring issue sustained during the FA Cup semifinal with Leeds and had only played one game in seven weeks before starting against Tunisia, making his early exit an immediate concern. Manager Graham Potter's brief but reassuring update suggests the substitution was precautionary rather than the result of any significant setback, giving Sweden confidence that their left wingback will be available for Saturday's clash against the Netherlands. Gudmundsson impressed defensively during his time on the pitch, recording a team-high five clearances and three successful aerial duels, and Sweden will hope the five-day rest between fixtures is sufficient for him to be fully available for what would be a potentially tournament-defining fixture.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with discomfort Gudmundsson recorded 65 minutes of play in Sunday's match against Tunisia but was unable to stay on the pitch due to an apparent physical issue.

Impact Gudmundsson made his comeback from an illness and got involved in both attacking and defensive actions with two crosses (one accurate), five clearances and two tackles (one won) Sunday. However, he asked to be subbed off, leaving doubts about whether he was dealing with a muscular problem or a mere fatigue. The wing-back could once again be questionable for Sweden's second game of the tournament against the Netherlands. If an injury is confirmed, Elliot Stroud and Daniel Svensson will be the main candidates to fill in.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Gudmundsson (illness) is in the initial lineup for Sunday's clash against Tunisia.

Impact Gudmundsson is ready to play as expected after recovering from his ailment a few days prior to the match. He'll consequently feature on the left flank, with Alexander Bernhardsson operating on the opposite flank and Daniel Svensson waiting for an opportunity off the bench. The Leeds United defender should have reasonable attacking upside in his current wing-back role, although he's yet to record a goal contribution over 23 appearances for the national team.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returns after illness Gudmundsson has recovered from illness and is training with the team, Press Manager Petra Thoren said, according to Fotbollskanalen. "He's in training, He had a startup practice ye...

Impact Gudmundsson has been isolated at the hotel in Dallas after falling ill, missing several days of training as a result. He returned to work on Thursday during the team's day off with a light session to ease back in, before taking part in Friday's training alongside the group. According to press manager Petra Thoren, the plan is for him to build back up to full training intensity in the coming days, with Sweden hopeful he'll be ready for the opener against Tunisia given his importance as a locked in starter on the left.

JUNE 13 • ROTOWIRE

Misses training with illness Gudmundsson (illness) remained at the hotel and missed Tuesday's training session with Sweden due to mild illness symptoms, with the medical staff monitoring his condition, accordi...

Impact Gudmundsson had been expected to start at left-back for Sweden's World Cup opener against Tunisia on June 14, making his absence from training a concern for coach Graham Potter heading into the tournament. The nature of the symptoms has not been specified, and press officer Petra Thoren confirmed he has not been isolated from the rest of the squad, suggesting the situation is not considered serious at this stage. His availability for the opening fixture will depend on how quickly he recovers over the coming days.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 64 minutes in friendly Gudmundsson (hamstring) delivered two crosses (zero accurate) over 64 minutes of play during Thursday's international friendly game versus Greece.

Impact Gudmundsson returned from a one-month injury absence in time to get some action with his national team prior to the World Cup. The defender is expected to play a major role at left wing-back, with his inclusion leaving Daniel Svensson on the opposite flank and possibly pushing Alexander Bernhardsson to the bench. The Leeds United man has yet to score or assist over 17 appearances for his country since 2024, but he could be a source of playmaking and defensive output.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to start against Greece Gudmundsson (hamstring) has been cleared to start Thursday's friendly against Greece as part of the planned recovery process, with coach Graham Potter confirming the left-back is r...

Impact Gudmundsson had been sidelined since the spring with a thigh injury that prevented him from featuring in Leeds United's final Championship fixture and caused him to miss the Norway friendly, but his return to the starting lineup against Greece is a significant relief for Sweden heading into the World Cup. The versatile defender had been one of Sweden's standout performers during the qualifying playoff matches against Ukraine and Poland, and his availability for the tournament opener against Tunisia gives manager Potter his preferred left-back option back in the fold.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Sweden's first friendly Gudmundsson (hamstring) sat out Monday's international friendly matchup against Norway but retains a chance of being fully fit for the World Cup opener versus Tunisia, Kyle Newboul...

Impact Gudmundsson is still working on his recovery from the injury that he suffered in the final stretch of the club season, with Daniel Svensson moving to the left flank of Sweden's back five instead. The Leeds United man will likely need to be assessed to determine if he has made enough progress to feature in upcoming action, but he should be part of the starting lineup as soon as he's ready to play.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out for finale Gudmundsson (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against West Ham, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Gabi is still out."

Impact Gudmundsson is going to remain out for the season finale, as the defender is still dealing with a hamstring injury. This will mark a fourth straight match for the defender out, an unfortunate way to end the season for a typical starting left-back. He ends his season with 31 starts in 32 appearances, earning no goal contributions and three clean sheets.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Seagulls Gudmundsson (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Daniel Farke.

Impact Gudmundsson has been labeled week-to-week but will miss another match either way, as the defender will not be an option for the penultimate match of the campaign. This leaves the club without either of its regular starting full-backs, as Jayden Bogle (hamstring) also remains out. With that said, James Justin will likely serve on the left and Daniel James on the right as Gudmundsson and Bogle look to return in the season finale.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Week-to-week moving forward Gudmundsson (hamstring) is week-to-week as he tries to return from injury, according to assistant manager Edmund Riemer. "I think, as the manager already mentioned last week, Gabi...

Impact Gudmundsson is still not an option but is waiting closely for a return, as the defender appears to be on a week-to-week basis now. This will be something to monitor, as the defender only has two games to return after Monday. He is their starting left-back when fit, so the club will hope to end this Premier League run with him available.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers hamstring injury Gudmundsson (hamstring) will miss Friday's match against Burnley and is likely to sit out the Tottenham fixture as well but is targeting a return for the final two matches of the s...

Impact Gudmundsson's absence is a notable blow for Leeds United, as the wing-back had made four consecutive starts before the hamstring issue emerged. Manager Daniel Farke's description of the injury as a bit serious suggests this is more than a minor setback, though the hope of a return for the final two matches of the campaign offers some encouragement. James Justin is expected to be among the options to cover at left wing-back during his absence.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up apparent hamstring issue Gudmundsson's fitness is a concern for upcoming fixtures after manager Daniel Farke said following Sunday's FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea that it "Seems to be a hamstring injury...

Impact Gudmundsson has made four straight starts at left wing-back but could see that streak come to an end if a significant muscle issue is confirmed. He has been active in crossing and defensive duties, so Leeds could see their power reduced in those aspects in case he's ruled out, although James Justin could do a similar job after playing that role in the past.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Available going forward Gudmundsson should be available going forward after completing the full 90 in Monday's 2-1 win over Manchester United without experiencing any fitness issues post-game, according t...

Impact "Nope, all good," Farke said when asked about whether Gudmundsson had experienced some additional issues after Monday's game. The left wing-back recorded five crosses (one accurate), two clearances, one chance created, one tackle and one interception in the win over the Red Devils. He's expected to remain in the XI as long as he stays healthy.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Starts during return Gudmundson (groin) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Gudmundson was doubtful for Monday but appears to have healed quicker than expected, as the defender is starting in his usual spot on the left side of the defense. Barring any kind of setback, he should remain in this role if fit, only missing one start when available all of this season.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing, still doubtful Gudmundsson (groin) is doubtful for Monday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Gabi has made some progress. He came back with some light groin pr...

Impact Gudmundsson is still dealing with his injury and is not yet cleared for play despite the injury now being deemed minor. This leaves his status as they head into the weekend up in the air, as the defender could be set to miss a third straight game. The club continues to lose defensive options, so this is a worrying sight if he cannot play, already without Joe Rodon (foot) and having Jaka Bijol (back) doubtful. He will probably need to pass some testing to play, with James Justin a replacement again if unable to start or left out.
