Leeds United have now been provided with an injury update on a key player, who manager Daniel Farke has previously described as "unbelievable".
Leeds already struggling on the injury front
With three games played of the new Premier League season, Leeds are likely to be happy with the start they've made, having collected four points and kept clean sheets in both of their games at Elland Road.
That is despite the fact two first-team players have already suffered injury setbacks, namely Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu, who are set to spend a little while longer on the treatment table due to MCL issues.
Losing Tanaka will be particularly frustrating for the manager, as the midfielder made a fantastic start to the campaign, being voted Player of the Match for his performance in the 1-0 victory against Everton.
With the international break now upon us, the most important thing for Farke will be all his players returning to Elland Road unscathed, but there has already been a cause for concern.
As reported by the BBC's Adam Pope, Joe Rodon has withdrawn from the Wales squad ahead of their matches against Kazakhstan and Canada, but thankfully it is not thought to be a major issue.

Pope added: "I’m told it’s not serious & he should be ok to face Fulham."
It has since been widely reported that concussion protocols meant Rodon couldn't be called up for his national side, which will no doubt be frustrating for the 54-time international, but it is a boost for Leeds that he should be fit for the trip to Fulham on September 13th.
"Unbelievable" Rodon has made impressive start to the campaign
Getting a positive result at the Emirates Stadium was always going to be a tall order, and the Whites struggled as expected, but otherwise they have made a promising start to the new campaign, and the Welsh defender has looked impressive.
The 27-year-old has started all three games, most recently putting in a solid display to keep Newcastle United at bay, with a point against a Champions League side certainly not to be sniffed at.

Farke has also made it clear just how highly he rates the defender, who is widely reported to pocket £40k-a-week, saying: "He has unbelievable pace and it is good when we have to defend that high in the field, it helps.
"He brings also aerial threat into our game, we have many smaller, not the tallest players, (it’s) also important for us in terms of set-pieces he is strong in duals and build up passes in his technique."
As such, the Leeds boss will be grateful Rodon's injury is likely nothing to be worried about, ahead of their trip to Craven Cottage in just over one week.
