Leeds United face a fresh defensive setback ahead of their trip to Brighton, with manager Daniel Farke confirming that Joe Rodon will be sidelined for eight to ten weeks after suffering a "serious hamstring injury," according to the BBC.
Speaking to the media before Saturday's 15:00 BST kick-off at the Amex Stadium, Farke also touched on Leeds' transfer business, referencing bids made for attacking targets including Okafor, though specific details of any deal remain unclear from his comments.
The Rodon blow is a significant one for Farke, who will need to reshuffle his backline for the visit to Brighton and likely beyond, given the lengthy recovery timeline attached to a hamstring problem of that severity.
