Leeds United defender Joe Rodon runs the risk of long-term injuries as he’s playing through back spasms, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that the details are unclear as to how frequently he needs the painkillers, but believes that it could be the club managing it until the end of the season.
This comes after Daniel Farke confirmed that the Tottenham-owned centre-back had played on killers.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Rodon:
“Difficult to say if they’ll be a regular thing or if they were just needed in this instance – really depends on the specifics which we don’t know.
“There’s always a risk of a long-term injury when playing through something so yes that risk exists here.
