2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gudmundsson joins Leeds United as a replacement for the outgoing Junior Firpo, who was the main starter throughout their Championship run. Gudmundsson made 30 appearances for Lille last season, mostly as a full-back, creating 16 chances and taking 18 shots. The defender isn't likely to become a more productive option in the Premier League, but he does have a path to significant playing time if he can win the left-back job over Sam Byram. Despite the potential for minutes, there doesn't seem like a ton of offensive upside for Gudmundsson, even if Leeds play a more attacking system than Lille did.
Returns after illness
Gudmundsson has recovered from illness and is training with the team, Press Manager Petra Thoren said, according to Fotbollskanalen. "He's in training, He had a startup practice yesterday during the team's day off. Now the idea is that he will train full time"
ANALYSIS
Gudmundsson has been isolated at the hotel in Dallas after falling ill, missing several days of training as a result. He returned to work on Thursday during the team's day off with a light session to ease back in, before taking part in Friday's training alongside the group. According to press manager Petra Thoren, the plan is for him to build back up to full training intensity in the coming days, with Sweden hopeful he'll be ready for the opener against Tunisia given his importance as a locked in starter on the left.
