Strong in Monday's draw
Rodon recorded one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th minute.
Analysis: Rodon took on his former club Monday and made sure his name was on every Spurs' fans lips. He helped keep Spurs to just two shots on target, recording four clearances, one tackle, one interception and one blocked shot on the defensive end. He was also involved on the attack, recording one shot on target, one chance created and one accurate cross in his very active 90 minutes of action.
Surprise bench appearance
Rodon (ankle) made a surprise appearance on the bench for Saturday's clash against Wolves, beating his initial May return timeline by several weeks, the club posted.
Analysis: Rodon had been expected to miss at least two weeks and was considered unlikely to feature in April after manager Daniel Farke flagged a May return as the realistic target following a ligament injury to his ankle. His presence on the bench is a remarkable recovery turnaround for Leeds United, who have been desperately short of defensive options with the club sitting just three points above the relegation zone. Whether he sees any minutes or simply serves as an emergency option will be Farke's call, but having him available at all at this stage is a significant boost for the Whites heading into the business end of the season.
