Earns start

Bijol recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Sunderland.

Analysis: Bijol was inserted into the defense for Leeds on Sunday and did well to help his team to a clean sheet, notching a tackle won, two interceptions and eight clearances. This is his first start since the second match of the season, having fallen out of starting time. He has only started in three of his five appearances this season, hoping a decent outing Sunday can lead to more time.

Losing starting role on defense

Bijol hasn't started in any of Leeds' last three league matches.

Analysis: Bijol started the Whites' first two games of the 2026/27 season, but he hasn't come off the bench in the last two. Leeds United are undefeated through five EPL matches so far, so Bijol is likely to remain in a bench role based on how good the team has been playing lately.
