Gabriel Gudmundsson
27-Year-Old
Leeds United
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 5/17/2026
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.
Suffers hamstring injury
Gudmundsson (hamstring) will miss Friday's match against Burnley and is likely to sit out the Tottenham fixture as well but is targeting a return for the final two matches of the season, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Hamstring injury. It's also a bit of a serious injury, he will definitely miss the game on Friday and also, as it stands, the Tottenham game and then we have to see. Of course we try to bring him back as quick as possible, especially at this stage of the season, and I hope he can feature then in one of the last two games. But as it stands, the next two games we will have to play without him."
ANALYSIS
Gudmundsson's absence is a notable blow for Leeds United, as the wing-back had made four consecutive starts before the hamstring issue emerged. Manager Daniel Farke's description of the injury as a bit serious suggests this is more than a minor setback, though the hope of a return for the final two matches of the campaign offers some encouragement. James Justin is expected to be among the options to cover at left wing-back during his absence.

Progressing, still doubtful
Gudmundsson (groin) is doubtful for Monday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Gabi has made some progress. He came back with some light groin problems after the international games, so he is making light progress. [He is a] doubt. So, if you would play the game already tomorrow, then [he] wouldn't be available. We have a bit more time, and I am hopeful that I have [him] ready."
