Back available for friendly
Bijol (knock) is back available for Saturday's friendly against RB Leipzig, the club posted.
Analysis: Bijol had missed the earlier friendly against Wrexham with a knee knock, one of several notable absences for Leeds during the club's trip to the United States. His return now confirms that setback has cleared up, positioning him to bring his physical presence and aerial strength back to the backline as Leeds United continues its preseason preparations.
Missing with knee knock
Bijol (knock) was absent for Leeds' preseason friendly against Wrexham after picking up a knock to his knee, according to Leeds Live.
Analysis: Bijol's absence is one of several notable ones for Leeds in the United States, joining Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sebastiaan Bornauw on the sidelines. The defender is known for his physical presence and aerial strength at the back, qualities Leeds will want available once the issue clears up. No further details on the severity of the knock have been disclosed, and he's expected to be assessed further as preseason continues.
