Finds bench role Bahoya (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Bahoya is available as a substitute after returning to training Thursday following an ankle injury suffered during France U21's win over Luxembourg. The winger has recovered sufficiently to rejoin the matchday squad and could provide an attacking option off the bench. His involvement has been limited since arriving at Leeds, making a substitute appearance consistent with his recent role.

Impact Bahoya's return to training puts him back in contention for Saturday's trip to Arsenal after he was forced off during France U21's win over Luxembourg. The winger appears to have avoided a significant injury, though his involvement will depend on how he responds to his first session back with the group. Bahoya has played a limited role for Leeds since his arrival and would likely be considered for a substitute appearance if cleared to feature.

Suffers ankle injury Bahoya was forced off after 35 minutes of France U21s' 3-2 win over Luxembourg on Saturday after suffering an ankle injury and will undergo further tests, according to Zinny Boswel...

Impact Bahoya initially attempted to continue before being replaced in the first half, with further assessment needed to determine the severity of the ankle issue. The injury comes after a productive international window in which he also played 66 minutes against Iceland and 78 minutes against Estonia, scoring once in the latter appearance. Bahoya has seen limited playing time at club level since his arrival at Leeds, making his potential availability following the international break worth monitoring.

Gets France U21 minutes Bahoya played 66 minutes in France U21s' 1-1 draw with Iceland during the international break.

Impact Bahoya received valuable playing time with France U21s after being limited to a one-minute substitute appearance in his most recent club match. The 66-minute outing should help him build match rhythm after spending several weeks on an adaptive program following his arrival. He will now look to translate that increased workload into a larger role at club level after making his debut off the bench against Crystal Palace.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Leeds debut Bahoya appeared off the bench for one minute in Sunday's 0-0 draw to Crystal Palace.

Impact Bahoya would finally see his first minutes on the field with his new club, as the attacker came off the bench in the 89th minute to debut. This wouldn't be enough time for him to make an impact on the match, although it is encouraging to see him on the field after weeks of adaptive programs. He will now look to make a bigger role in the team after some success with Frankfurt last campaign, earning three goals and four assists in 27 appearances (15 starts).

Being eased into action Bahoya is continuing to adapt following his loan move to Leeds and is being introduced patiently ahead of Monday's Premier League clash against Newcastle United, according to coach...

Impact Bahoya is still waiting to make his Leeds debut after arriving on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, though manager Daniel Farke indicated he was close to featuring in the club's most recent match and only remained unused because a substitution was needed following Melvin Bard's cramp. The winger has impressed with his work in training but is still adapting to the physical demands of English football while also facing competition for minutes in wide areas. Bahoya could be an option against Newcastle United on Monday, though Farke's comments suggest Leeds will remain patient rather than rush the 21-year-old into action.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to Leeds United Bahoya has joined Leeds United on loan from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt for the remainder of the 2026/27 season.

Impact Bahoya looks set to add attacking depth to his new team, with the possibility of rivaling Harry Wilson and Noah Okafor for playing time, especially when there's rotation in busy periods. Despite his ups and downs, Bahoya scored once and delivered three assists over a six-game period when he made regular starts for Frankfurt, highlighting his intensity when pushing towards the opposing goal.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench in friendly Bahoya (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's friendly against Brentford, according to the club.

Impact Bahoya had missed the recent city derby against FSV Frankfurt with minor discomfort, an absence described as purely precautionary at the time. His inclusion on the matchday squad now confirms he has recovered, though his preseason has been bumpy overall, and his continued involvement will be worth tracking as he looks to build on last season's three goals and four assists across 27 Bundesliga appearances.

Impact Bahoya's preseason has not gone particularly smoothly, having already missed two earlier friendlies before his recent substitute appearances, each coming after the hour mark. He finished last season with three goals and four assists across 27 Bundesliga appearances (15 starts), and his path back to full training will be worth monitoring as Frankfurt continues preseason preparations.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action in offseason Bahoya (strain) appeared as a substitute during the weekend's friendly game versus Mannheim.

Impact Bahoya joined the squad as they prepare for the 2026/27 season, replacing Ansgar Knauff in the second half against the third-division side. The attacker will be in contention for minutes, mainly on the left wing, in the upcoming campaign, looking to improve on his last year's output of three goals and four assists across 27 Bundesliga appearances (15 starts).

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Fully training with Frankfurt Bahoya (strain) is available again for Eintracht Frankfurt after returning to team training at the start of the week, according to hessenschau.

Impact Bahoya's return to training clears up a brief absence caused by mild muscular complaints that cost him appearances in the friendlies against FC GieBen and Trabzonspor. The 21-year-old is considered one of the more talented players in Frankfurt's squad, and with preseason preparations back on track for him, he'll be looking to use the coming weeks to make a strong impression on new manager Adolf Hutter.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering Bahoya (strain) was not an option in Sunday's friendly against Trabzonspor, according to Christopher Michel of Absolut Fussball.

Impact Bahoya was still not an option for Frankfurt as they start their pre-season, with the attacker left on the sidelines as he recovers from injury. The good news for fans of the club is that this is not due to transfer speculation and is purely due to injury, having suffered from some muscular injuries. He will now look to return soon, as he has been involved in the pre-season training camp.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Included in preseason camp squad Bahoya (undisclosed) has been included in the squad for Eintracht Frankfurt's preseason training camp, suggesting he is getting closer to a return, according to the club.

Impact Bahoya had been working individually after being left out of the club's opening friendly against FC Giessen with an undisclosed injury, a notable step back after he had returned to full training once preseason began. His inclusion in the camp squad is an encouraging sign following multiple leg related issues over the past year, and his participation over the coming days should provide more clarity on when he can return to full training.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined, working alone Bahoya (undisclosed) is working individually, the club announced.

Impact Bahoya had returned to full training once Frankfurt's preseason began, only to then be left out entirely for the club's opening friendly against FC Giessen with an injury of undisclosed nature, according to Christopher Michel of Absolut Eintracht. Going from full training to missing a match this quickly is a notable shift given he has already dealt with multiple leg related issues over the past year. The next training session and the following friendly against Waldhof Mannheim on Aug. 1 should offer a clearer picture of the severity. Bahoya is expected to continue his individual work in the meantime as the club monitors his status.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Misses friendly with injury Bahoya was not part of Eintracht Frankfurt's squad for the club's first pre-season friendly against FC GieBen, missing out with an injury, Christopher Michel reports.

Impact Bahoya had cleared the first hurdle of this recovery, training fully alongside teammates once Frankfurt's preseason began, only to then be left out of the squad entirely for the opening friendly with no specified injury. Going from fully training to missing a match this quickly is a genuine red flag rather than routine caution, particularly given he's already dealt with multiple leg-related issues over the past year. The next training session and the following friendly against Waldhof Mannheim on August 1 should offer a clearer read on how serious this actually is.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Back in group for preseason start Bahoya (undisclosed) was among the players present for Eintracht Frankfurt's first pre-season training session under new head coach Adi Hutter, a positive sign after MRI scans foun...

Impact Bahoya's early exit in the finale against Stuttgart in May initially raised concern given his history of thigh trouble that season, but MRI scans found no structural damage, and the club managed his workload carefully through the rest of that month. His presence in the group for Adi Hutter's first pre-season training session, confirms he heads into the new campaign without an injury cloud hanging over him.

JULY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off in season finale Bahoya (knock) was forced off in the 17th minute of Saturday's final match of the season against Stuttgart, with no further details provided on the nature of the issue.

Impact Bahoya's early exit brought a premature end to what had otherwise been an encouraging campaign, finishing the season with three goals and four assists across 35 appearances in all competitions. The extent of the injury remains unknown, leaving his condition heading into the offseason uncertain. The young winger has shown considerable promise this season, and staying healthy will be the key factor in his continued development heading into next campaign.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Option for end of season Bahoya (thigh) has cleared his injury and is fit for the end of the season, according to manager Albert Riera. "All other players are candidates for the squad."

Impact Bahoya has been partially training this week, and that is leading to his return, ending his four-match absence. The attacker will look to return to the starting XI immediately, as he did start in the six games before his injury, recording four goal contributions during that span. With seven goal contributions in 24 appearances (24 starts) this season, he has started to make a name for himself, looking for a string end to propel him into the next campaign.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to partial training Bahoya (thigh) has returned to partial team training Wednesday and remains a doubt to return for Saturday's clash against Hamburger, according to the club.

Impact Bahoya has missed four consecutive Bundesliga matches with a thigh injury, making his return to the training pitch a welcome development for Frankfurt heading into the weekend. The club will assess how he responds to the partial sessions over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement against the Red Shorts, with the young French winger having contributed one goal and three assists in his last six appearances before the injury struck.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Augsburg Bahoya (thigh) won't be an option to face Augsburg on Saturday, according to manager Albert Riera. "Bahoya remains unavailable for selection."

Impact Bahoya was planning to return in this fixture, but the winger isn't ready to do so. His potential return to action might come against Hamburg on May 2, but his involvement in training over the next few days will determine that. The Augsburg match will be Bahoya's fourth consecutive absence in domestic play.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing return against Augsburg Bahoya (thigh) is out for Saturday's match against Leipzig but is eyeing a return against Augsburg on April 25, according to manager Albert Riera. "Jean-Matteo has not yet fully re...

Impact Bahoya is not yet fit but is still trying for his return this season, looking to be an option when facing Augsburg next contest. This is huge news for the attacker, as he was potentially set to miss the rest of the season. He started in six straight games heading into the injury, so he will hope to earn that time back once fit.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Still working individually Bahoya (thigh) remains in individual training Tuesday and is not yet ready to rejoin full team training, according to the club.

Impact Bahoya has been sidelined since missing the Koln fixture and is still not back in team sessions heading into Saturday's clash against Leipzig. The young French winger had been in excellent form before going down, starting six consecutive matches and contributing one goal and three assists in that span, making his continued absence a real blow for Frankfurt's attacking options. No specific timeline has been given for his return and the club will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return to squad Bahoya (thigh) is back in the squad and fit to play against Wolfsburg on Saturday, according to manager Albert Riera.

Impact Bahoya didn't play in the last Bundesliga match against Koln, but he's expected to return to the squad for this contest, although the manager also acknowledged that the team doesn't want to take any risks with the winger. Bahoya had started the previous six matches before losing the Koln fixture, tallying one goal and three assists in that span.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing return against Wolfsburg Bahoya (thigh) is eyeing a return to play next contest when facing Wolfsburg on April 11, according to manager Albert Riera. "Everyone is fit for Sunday, except for Nnamdi, Kaua, R...

Impact Bahoya is close to ending his time on the sidelines after the international break, but will still miss a game, as the attacker is not an option to face Koln. However, he is eyeing a return to training next week and hopefully going to be an option to face Wolfsburg, a huge addition back if that comes to fruition. He started in six straight games before the injury and recorded four goal contributions during that span, so they will await his return.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out until further notice Bahoya (thigh) is out for the next two to three weeks due to a thigh injury, according to his club.

Impact Bahoya is hitting the sidelines for the international break and has been halted from playing with his U21 international team, instead focusing on the recovery of his thigh. He is now likely out for their game against Koln after the break, with the attacker expected to miss two to three weeks. He will then eye a return against Wolfsburg on April 11, leaving Ansgar Knauff as a possible replacement.
