Joe Rodon
28-Year-Old
Leeds United
Premier
Surprise bench appearance
Rodon (ankle) made a surprise appearance on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves, beating his initial May return timeline by several weeks, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Rodon had been expected to miss at least two weeks and was considered unlikely to feature in April after manager Daniel Farke flagged a May return as the realistic target following a ligament injury to his ankle. His presence on the bench is a remarkable recovery turnaround for Leeds United, who have been desperately short of defensive options with the club sitting just three points above the relegation zone. Whether he sees any minutes or simply serves as an emergency option will be Farke's call, but having him available at all at this stage is a significant boost for the Whites heading into the business end of the season.

Potentially missing until May
Rodon (ankle) is expected to miss time until May, according to manager Daniel Farke, per the BBC. "It's difficult to say - with a ligament injury, you'd say it's not realistic that they were able to help us in April, but of course, the medical department is trying everything. It's a crunch point of the season. At this moment, it's realistic to say that we'll see them back in May."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Several teams want him
Several clubs in the Premier League and the Championship are interested in signing Rodon, according to Football London.
ANALYSIS
Ipswich, Southampton, Leicester and Leeds are among the clubs interested in signing the 26-year-old Wales and Tottenham defender. Rodon doesn't figure to have a role in Tottenham's squad for the 2024/25 season, so the best scenario for him would be to move elsewhere, preferably to a team where he can log regular first-team minutes.
