Joe Gelhardt - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ramping up fitness Gelhardt continues to work on his fitness over the international break after returning from his ankle injury at the beginning of September.

Impact Gelhardt has featured in two matches (Cup included) off the bench and gives Hull another realistic option to be a starter. He started 36 matches in the EFL last season which led to his permanent transfer from Leeds in the summer. However, after new signings and a the move to three center-backs, spots in the XI for attacking players at a premium. For now, he'll likely be competing for minutes on the wing with Sorba Thomas and Elliot Stroud have been starting.

Returns off bench in cup defeat Gelhardt (ankle) returned to action in Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Sunderland.

Impact Gelhardt made his first appearance since returning to Hull City after an ankle issue delayed the start of his season. The forward had a major opportunity to equalize late in the match but sent Sorba Thomas' cross over the bar from close range. After scoring 15 goals in 42 Championship appearances last season, Gelhardt should provide another option in attack once he has rebuilt his match fitness, with his 31-minute outing against Sunderland representing a first step back into competitive action.

Makes bench in EFL Cup Gelhardt (ankle) is on the bench for Tuesday's EFL Cup match against Sunderland.

Impact Gelhardt had resumed full training last week, and while the draw against Villa this past weekend came too soon for him, the striker will be an option off the bench for this Cup tie. Gelhardt scored 15 goals in 42 matches in the 2025/26 Championship season.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Gelhardt (ankle) returned to group training this week after arriving at Hull City with an ankle injury, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic.

Impact Gelhardt's return to full-team work represents an important step after the ankle issue disrupted his preseason and kept him out during the opening weeks of the campaign. With Hull City facing Aston Villa on Saturday, the forward could potentially make the squad, although his lack of recent match action may make a role off the bench more realistic if he's cleared to feature.

Could return to training next week Gelhardt (ankle) could return to group training next week, manager Sergej Jakirovic told Hull Live. "I'm expecting him [Gelhardt] next week on the pitch with the team, so I hope he...

Impact Gerhardt picked up an ankle problem in the preseason, and while the initial expectation was that he'd miss the first few weeks of the campaign, he could beat that timeline. If he returns to group training next week, there might be an outside chance that he could be an option to come off the bench against Coventry City next Saturday, Aug. 29.

Set to miss first weeks Gelhardt is set to miss the first couple of weeks of the season with an ankle problem picked up in preseason, Baz Cooper of Hull Daily Mail reports.

Impact Gelhardt's permanent switch to Hull City from Leeds has been followed almost immediately by an ankle injury picked up in pre-season, one expected to keep him out for the first couple of weeks of the campaign. It is an unfortunate bit of timing given how well his Hull career has gone to this point, with 20 goals in 64 appearances across two loan spells, capped by the decisive goal in the play-off semifinal victory over Millwall that sent the club up. The forward will now need to recover from the issue and work through a gradual return to training before being considered for selection, with his availability dependent on how he responds to rehabilitation and increased workload.

Not involved with knock Gelhardt has a knock and won't be involved in Saturday's final friendly against Nice, according to Baz Cooper of the Hull Daily Mail.

Impact Gelhardt recently completed his permanent move to Hull from Leeds, scoring 20 goals in 64 appearances across two loan spells at the club over the last 18 months, including the tie clinching goal in the playoff semifinal win over Millwall that sealed promotion. This minor setback comes so soon after his permanent switch, and his path back into contention will be worth monitoring as Hull ends its preseason preparations ahead of the club's return to the Premier League.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Completes Hull City return Gelhardt has completed a permanent transfer to Hull City from Leeds United, signing a four year contract with a club option for a further year, according to the club.

Impact Gelhardt scored 20 goals in 64 appearances across two loan spells at Hull City over the last 18 months, including 15 last season, second on the team only to Oliver McBurnie, and scored the tie clinching goal in the playoff semifinal second leg win over Millwall that sealed promotion to the Premier League. The 24 year old forward, who came through Wigan Athletic's academy and made 35 Premier League appearances for Leeds United, now returns to Hull on a permanent basis as the club prepares for its return to the top flight.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Departs Hull City Gelhardt will leave Hull City following the conclusion of his second loan spell, the club announced.

Impact Gelhardt scored 20 goals across 64 appearances over two separate stints spanning 18 months, establishing himself as one of the most important attacking figures at the MKM Stadium during a significant period in the club's history. Gelhardt first helped Hull avoid relegation in 2024/25 with five goals in 20 outings including a decisive brace of penalties against Preston, before returning for a full season loan in which he netted 15 goals and six assists across 44 Championship appearances, highlighted by eight goals in 10 consecutive outings, a stunning free-kick at Wrexham and an immediate impact off the bench in the play-off semi-final second leg against Millwall.

Records assist off bench Gelhardt subbed into Friday's match against Aston Villa in the 77th minute, and he assisted a goal in the 2-1 defeat.

Impact Gelhardt combined with fellow substitute Patrick Bamford to bring Leeds back into Friday's match, but it wasn't quite enough to salvage a result against Villa. This was Gelhardt's second assist in what was his 15th league appearance of the season, but he's come off the bench in all but one of those games.

Among substitutes on Saturday Gelhardt is fit and in the match day squad to face Tottenham on Saturday.

Impact Gelhardt is good to go after suffering an injury that forced him off after 54 minutes during league cup action in mid week. The forward starts from the bench as just one of his ten appearances in the league has been as a starter.

Suffers injury midweek Gelhardt suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's Cup match after starting and going 54 minutes.

Impact Gelhardt has been a regular off the bench this season, so that's another issue for Leeds just before the World Cup break. It doesn't seem serious and he'll get time to recover over the break, but it's been a bit disappointing that he hasn't seen more time with Patrick Bamford still battling issues of his own.

On bench versus Liverpool Gelhardt is active and on the bench for Saturday's clash at Liverpool.

Impact Gelhardt was considered questionable heading into Saturday's matchup after dealing with an undisclosed issue, but he's apparently fit enough to feature off the bench (if necessary). Even when he's been on the pitch, he hasn't been very fantasy-relevant. That probably won't change as long as Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo are healthy.

Question against Liverpool Gelhardt is considered a question for Saturday's trip to Liverpool because of an undisclosed issue, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Gelhardt may have been given a start Saturday given other injuries in the squad, but it doesn't look like he's healthy either. He's been effective in a bench role and as long as Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford are options, Gelhardt will likely only be used for minimal periods off the bench.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists off bench Gelhardt assisted once to go with one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Fulham.

Impact In just six minutes of play Gelhardt only had three passes, one being an assist to Crysencio Summerville for his first assist of the season. The 20-year-old Englishman is used as a sub, with Pascal Struijk having a suitable season as left back.. He now has an assist, seven shots (two on target) and four clearances in nine appearances on the campaign.

Ready to feature again Gelhardt is back and available for Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Gelhardt missed last week's contest with a minor issue, but he's back and available again. There's a chance he starts Sunday given the possible absence of Patrick Bamford, but it feels more likely that Rodrigo will play in the striker role for Leeds, given his early-season form.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Signs new Leeds contract Gelhardt has signed a new, long-term contract with Leeds, keeping him at the club until 2027.

Impact Gelhardt really came on last season when he appeared in 20 matches while Patrick Bamford was dealing with an injury. Gelhardt figures to grow his role in the coming years, though with Bamford in the squad, he'll likely remain in mostly a bench role, something that could change if more injuries brew up in the Leeds attack.
