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.

Tottenham player ratings vs Leeds: Mathys Tel, what were you thinking?! Spurs goal-scorer goes from hero to zero as draw dents Premier League survival hopes

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.

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

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.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing potential three weeks out Rodon (ankle) could be set to miss around three weeks and isn't expected to return until after the Jan. 11 FA Cup match against Derby County, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Ye...

Impact Rodon was initially thought to be missing around two weeks of action with an ankle injury but will take the absence a game further, as the defender is now likely to miss around three weeks of action, This puts him on the other side of their opening FA Cup match, not returning until mid-January, with a return eyed against Fulham on Jan. 17. He is a typical starter in the defense, so this is major loss for the time being, with the club likely to move to a four-back while Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk earn the start in the middle of the defense.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out two weeks Rodon (ankle) is expected to be out until the January 11 match against Derby County, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Beren Cross of The Athletic.

Impact Rodon suffered an injury to his ankle and is still dealing with some swelling, forcing the defender to the sidelines for at least the next week. This comes with the club having a busy schedule, set to play three matches between now and the January 11 contest. If the claims remain true, the club will be left without a starting defender for the time being, likely to return to a two-back while Jaka Bijol and Pascal Struijk remain as starters.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Off with ankle injury Rodon was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Sunderland with an ankle injury.

Impact Rodon was forced off in the 31st minute being replaced by Ao Tanaka. The extent of Rodon's injury should be determined in the buildup to Thursday's match at Liverpool.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores header in win Rodon scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 win over West Ham United.

Impact Rodon's headed goal Friday proved decisive as Leeds United edged past West Hame United for a 2-1 home victory. The goal was the second of the season for the central defender who also contributed one tackle (one won), nine clearances and one block to the team's defensive effort across his 90 minutes of play. Rodon has played every minute of Leeds United's first nine league fixtures.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goal in solid all around performance Rodon scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Rodon powered a header from Sean Longstaff's corner into the far post Saturday in the 37th minute to get himself onto the scoresheet. His core defensive contributions were material; making five clearances, two tackles, an interception, a block and winning six of the seven duels he engaged in. He has participated in two clean sheets this season and as demonstrated in this match, he potentially can find the net through getting on the end of set piece plays.

Impact Rodon suffered a minor injury while on international duty with Wales that revealed to be minor since he is back available for Saturday's clash against the Cottagers. The center-back is expected to return directly to the starting defense for that game.

Suffers minor injury Rodon (undisclosed) suffered a minor injury and has been withdrawn from the Wales squad, according to Adam Pope of the BBC.

Impact Rodon suffered a minor injury that forced him to leave the Wales training camp in order to recover in Leeds. The defender will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury, although reports say he should be fine to face Fulham next Saturday. That said, if he has to miss some time, Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw will be the likely options to replace him in central defense for Leeds United.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet Saturday Rodon had one tackle (zero won), three clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Newcastle United.

Impact Rodon kept his second clean sheet of the season Saturday, contributing two interceptions, three clearances, one blocked shot and four duels won on the defensive end. Outside of a team-wide blunder last week versus Arsenal, it's been a solid start to the season for Rodon.
