Impact Rodon suffered the hamstring injury almost two months ago, and has now confirmed it was a grade three tear. The defender thinks that is due to his new role, which requires him to sprint more and cover a larger area of the pitch. Leeds aren't likely to change approaches, so Rodon will have to build his fitness and hope this new role doesn't lead to any sort of recurring muscular issues throughout the long Premier League campaign.

Option off bench Rodon (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Impact Rodon returns to the matchday squad after several weeks out with a hamstring injury. The center-back resumed full team training this week after previously taking part in only portions of sessions. With Nico Elvedi available in central defense, Leeds can ease Rodon back into competitive action as a substitute.

Impact Rodon has made significant progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury after spending several weeks on the sidelines. The center-back has now resumed full team training after previously being limited to partial sessions, putting him in contention for Saturday's encounter. However, he is unlikely to return directly to the starting lineup after such a lengthy absence, with Nico Elvedi and Jaka Bijol remaining options in central defense.

Impact Rodon has taken an encouraging step in his recovery from a hamstring injury after spending several weeks on the sidelines. The center-back has resumed partial team training but still needs additional sessions to rebuild his fitness before returning to competitive action. He is expected to remain sidelined for Saturday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth, with Nico Elvedi and Jaka Bijol providing alternatives in central defense.

Impact Rodon is still working toward his return from a hamstring injury and remains out for the time being. The center-back had recently entered the seventh week of his recovery, with coach Farke indicating that he was gradually approaching a comeback. However, the defender remains limited to rehabilitation work and has yet to receive clearance to resume full training with his teammates. His continued absence suggests that a return to competitive action is not imminent, although he could make further progress in the coming weeks if his recovery remains on schedule. Nico Elvedi, who stepped into the defense following Rodon's injury against Brentford, should continue benefiting from additional starting opportunities while the Welsh international remains unavailable.

Impact Rodon is entering the seventh week of his recovery from a hamstring injury that was initially expected to keep him sidelined for eight to 10 weeks. The center-back has been working individually and is gradually approaching a return, although he has yet to resume full team training. Nico Elvedi, who stepped into the defense following Rodon's injury against Brentford, remains the leading option to continue in central defense against Manchester United.

Impact Rodon is progressing in his recovery from the serious hamstring injury that was initially expected to sideline him for eight to 10 weeks. The center-back remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Arsenal and has yet to resume team training, suggesting his return is still several weeks away. Nico Elvedi, who replaced Rodon against Brentford, is expected to continue starting in central defense during his absence.

Impact Rodon's injury is a significant blow to Leeds after the center-back was forced off just 34 minutes into Sunday's draw against Brentford. The confirmed timeline will keep him out of Saturday's clash against Brighton and potentially through much of the next two months. Nico Elvedi, who replaced Rodon against Brentford and earned praise from manager Daniel Farke, is expected to step into the starting XI at center-back during his extended absence.

Impact Rodon's match was cut short after just 34 minutes due to what manager Daniel Farke described as a painful hamstring injury. The coach expressed hope that the center-back won't be sidelined for an extended period, though the severity of the issue and a potential recovery timeline remain unclear ahead of further assessment. Rodon's absence would be a significant blow to the back line if the injury proves serious, with Nico Elvedi expected to step into the starting XI at center-back for any matches he misses.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Helps to clean sheet win in opener Rodon generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Rodon made five clearances and one interception as Leeds defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0. The defender played in 35 games last season as Leeds had a famous season that saw them retain their place in the Premier League. He created a chance in the game, having created a total of nine chances last season.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Signs extension through 2030 Rodon signed a new contract through 2030 with Leeds United, his club announced.

Impact Rodon is sticking around Leeds after three years with the club, as he has now extended his contract to remain with the club through 2030. He has secured his status over the past three seasons as a starter, so this should come as no surprise, starting in 33 of his 35 appearances following Leeds' promotion in the 2025/26 campaign. This spot should stick for the defender after the extension, although his value can be questioned in some formats after only 37 tackles and six clean sheets last season.

Impact Rodon took on his former club Monday and made sure his name was on every Spurs' fans lips. He helped keep Spurs to just two shots on target, recording four clearances, one tackle, one interception and one blocked shot on the defensive end. He was also involved on the attack, recording one shot on target, one chance created and one accurate cross in his very active 90 minutes of action.

Surprise bench appearance Rodon (ankle) made a surprise appearance on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves, beating his initial May return timeline by several weeks, the club posted.

Impact Rodon had been expected to miss at least two weeks and was considered unlikely to feature in April after manager Daniel Farke flagged a May return as the realistic target following a ligament injury to his ankle. His presence on the bench is a remarkable recovery turnaround for Leeds United, who have been desperately short of defensive options with the club sitting just three points above the relegation zone. Whether he sees any minutes or simply serves as an emergency option will be Farke's call, but having him available at all at this stage is a significant boost for the Whites heading into the business end of the season.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Potentially missing until May Rodon (ankle) is expected to miss time until May, according to manager Daniel Farke, per the BBC. "It's difficult to say - with a ligament injury, you'd say it's not realistic that...

Impact Rodon went down with an ankle injury around a week ago, and his outlook is now clearer, as the defender is likely to sit out until May. This is a major loss to the club as they only remain three points above relegation, now without a Rodon and Anton Stach (ankle) until May, losing a main defender and midfielder. He had yet to miss a start all season when available, so the club will scramble to adjust for future matches, with James Justin, Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol likely to start while Sebastiaan Bornauw sees more chances at starting time.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss time Rodon (ankle) is out for Monday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Also, Joe Rodon will miss the game, also an ankle injury for him."

Impact Rodon went down in FA Cup play last week and will now hit the sidelines, as the defender has been diagnosed with an ankle injury. This is a major absence in the defense for the club as they move forward, starting in 29 games this season. A short absence will now be hoped for as he works on recovery, with Sebastiaan Bornauw a likely replacement in the defense while he is out.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off injured Rodon was forced off in the 52nd minute of Sunday's FA Cup match against West Ham due to an apparent injury.

Impact Rodon would need to leave the field just after halftime Sunday, appearing to pick up an injury that would leave Sebastiaan Bornauw to take his spot in the 52nd minute. The club will monitor his status closely, as the defender is a regular starter and a major contributor to the defense, having started in 29 games. More should come out following the match, with Bornauw as a likely replacement if he misses more time.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Five clearances in defeat Rodon registered two tackles (zero won) and five clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 loss versus Sunderland.

Impact Rodon recorded two tackles and five clearances in Tuesday's clash against Sunderland, helping anchor the defense while also initiating several build-ups from the back. He also had a goal ruled out in the second half for offside. The center-back remains an undisputed starter in the back line, starting all 27 Premier League appearances this season while tallying 31 tackles, 26 interceptions and 150 clearances during that span.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in defense Rodon (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Sunderland.

Impact Rodon was likely to return Tuesday and is already fit, with the defender earning a spot in the starting XI immediately. With 26 starts in 26 appearances heading into the contest, he seems to be the top defensive option, with three clean sheets to his name.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Should play Tuesday Rodon (hamstring) is an option for Tuesday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Daniel Farke. "He had some problems with his hamstring. It was not clear at the beginnin...

Impact Rodon is back in selection for the club after an injury scare over the weekend, avoiding a serious hamstring injury. He will likely still need to face some testing with the quick turnaround, although it does look to be positive for the defender. He is a regular starter in the defense and should reclaim that role if deemed fit enough.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers potential muscle issue Rodon finished Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City with a knock, about which assistant manager Eddie Riemer said in press conference "I think it's his hamstring. We need to asse...

Impact Rodon is now a doubt for upcoming matchups, causing considerable concern ahead of a week with two games against Sunderland and Norwich in league and FA Cup, respectively. The regular defender was replaced by Jaka Bijol near the end of Saturday's clash, so that could be a change in the starting squad if the injury leads Rodon to the sidelines.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Rodon was forced off in last week's clash against the Magpies due to cramps and has since then been training fully, making him an option for Leeds United moving forward. The defender has been a regular starter when fit and available and should claim back that role in upcoming games.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with discomfort Wednesday Rodon was forced to leave Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Newcastle due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Rodon limped off after suffering some pain in the final minutes of the midweek duel, which was his first start since recovering from an ankle issue. It's unclear if he's dealing with a new injury or a setback, and his status is currently in doubt for the short term. Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk played alongside him in the back line Wednesday and should be the top options to feature, with Sebastian Bornauw available to fill in if Rodon is sidelined again.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Rodon (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Newcastle.

Impact Rodon has bounced back from a two-game injury absence and should feature as part of a back three alongside Pascal Struijk and Jaka Bijol in the midweek match. Rodon was reliable in terms of defensive stats before his issue, as he tallied more than four clearances in 12 of his previous 15 starts.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing, out another two games Rodon (ankle) is eyeing a return after the Jan. 11 FA Cup match against Derby County, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Joe is edging closer and making good progress. We have at...

Impact Rodon was likely to miss three weeks and that appears to be coming to fruition, as the defender is eyeing a return after the FA Cup match and another week of rest. This leaves them without a starting defender for another two games, as Rodon had yet to miss a game until the injury. Once he is fit, an immediate start should follow, sending Sebastiaan Bornauw back to the bench.
