Leeds face prolonged absence for defender Rodon after hamstring injury

The 26-year-old centre-back picked up the injury during the match, forcing him to miss upcoming fixtures as Leeds navigate a crucial period of the season. Rodon has been a key player for the Yorkshire club since joining from Tottenham Hotspur and his extended absence will pose a significant challenge to manager Daniel Farke's defensive setup.

The injury comes at a difficult time for Leeds, who have been competing for promotion back to the Premier League. The loss of Rodon's experience and defensive presence in the heart of the backline will require the club to adjust their tactical approach in the coming weeks.

The Welsh international will undergo further assessment and rehabilitation to determine the exact timeline for his return. The club has not yet confirmed whether additional defensive reinforcements will be pursued during the injury period.
