Joe Rodon a doubt for Wales as Daniel Farke confirms hamstring injury
Wales boss Craig Bellamy faces an injury blow ahead of his side's Nations League openers after Joe Rodon limped off with injury during Leeds United's draw with Brentford.
Wales boss Craig Bellamy faces another injury blow ahead of his side's Nations League openers after Joe Rodon limped off with a hamstring injury during Leeds United's Premier League draw with Brentford.
With Cardiff centre-back Dylan Lawlor set to be ruled out with a knee injury, Rodon also now appears a major doubt after coming off 33 minutes in at Elland Road.
The 28-year-old pulled up sharply after a challenge and immediately signalled to the bench to be substituted before being helped off.
The hosts went on to draw 1-1 after a late Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal cancelled out Kevin Schade's opener, and afterwards Leeds boss Daniel Farke confirmed why his defender had come off.
"Rodon (has) got a hamstring injury," he said.
"Very painful injury, big blow if he is out for a while.
"We have to assess him. Hopefully he's not out too long. We do not have many senior centre-back options."
The 28-year-old, who has 62 caps for his country, has been a mainstay under Bellamy and his potential absence would represent a huge blow for the trips to Portugal and Denmark on 24 and 27 September respectively.
