Leeds United defender Joe Rodon is expected to be sidelined for up to 10 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during last week's 1-1 Premier League draw against Brentford.
Manager Daniel Farke confirmed the news ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton.
“Yes, it's bad news. Joe has a hamstring injury. He will be out for between eight and ten weeks, so he definitely won't play before the next international break. It's a blow for us because Rodon is a key player. But this is football, and sometimes you have to deal with injuries,” Farke stated.
The Wales international had started both of Leeds' league matches so far this season. His injury will also be a concern for his national team. Wales is set to visit Portugal on September 24th and Denmark three days later in UEFA Nations League Group A4 fixtures. The 'Dragons' also host Norway and Denmark in early October.
