Joe Rodon misses Leeds United Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke will be without three players for the upcoming Carabao Cup match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, September 9. Defender Joe Rodon, midfielder Ilia Gruev, and Mateo Joseph are ruled out of the fixture due to injuries. Farke is expected to rotate his squad following a 1-1 draw against Brighton on September 5. While the team remains unbeaten after four matches, Rodon’s absence forces a defensive shuffle for the cup meeting. Dan James is expected to be available for selection after missing the recent league fixture. New signings James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic may retain their places, while Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya are in contention for their debuts.
