Injury Ankle
Est. Return 5/24/2026
Left out of Germany squad
Stach (ankle) was not called up by Germany for the World Cup and remains a doubt for Sunday's season finale against West Ham.
ANALYSIS
Stach had been stretchered off during the Brighton fixture with a painful ankle injury, and his omission from manager Julian Nagelsmann's squad is a deeply disappointing outcome for a player who had been pushing hard to earn a place in the tournament roster after returning ahead of schedule from a previous ankle ligament issue. The midfielder's availability for Sunday's final fixture of the Leeds United season will be assessed over the coming days, with the club monitoring his condition before making any decisions on his involvement against West Ham.

Could potentially play Sunday
Stach is doubtful for Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Daniel Farke. "We have obviously a few more days and, yes, we will see. So, the first step is right now to have him back in team training, rather sooner than later. And, of course, if a key player like him would be back in team training, then he would also have a chance to be picked because he is a crucial player for us. But, yeah, let's see how the next 72 hours will develop."
