Leeds United defender Joe Rodon sustained a hamstring injury during the Premier League match against Brentford at Elland Road on Saturday. The 28-year-old requested a substitution in the 33rd minute of the contest after appearing to pull up following a challenge. Manager Daniel Farke confirmed the injury post-match, describing it as painful and noting that the club lacks senior centre-back options. The match concluded in a 1-1 draw after a late goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin neutralized an early strike by Kevin Schade. Rodon now faces a potential absence ahead of upcoming Nations League fixtures for Wales, where he is a regular starter under manager Craig Bellamy. The defender is considered a doubt for the national team's scheduled matches in Portugal and Denmark later in September.
