It's bad news. He will be out at least until the international break.

Leeds United are lining up a move for a playmaker in the final days of the summer transfer window. While the Whites have several options in the midfield at the moment, they need a creative presence, someone who can keep possession of the ball and create chances. Their current midfield options include Anton Stach, Ao Tanaka and Etham Ampadu, all of whom started their first Premier League match of the season against Everton, a 1-0 win at Elland Road.

Leeds United started their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win against Everton, thanks to a late penalty from Lukas Nmecha for a perfect start.

Jack Grealish made his debut for Everton in a 1-0 loss to Leeds United, failing to make an impact as a substitute. Leeds won with a late penalty after Everton captain James Tarkowski handled the ball.

Leeds United aimed to sign striker Nikola Krstovic from Lecce during the summer transfer window, but Atalanta has now initiated discussions for him.

Leeds United have been offered the chance to sign Mehdi Taremi from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window. Leeds are on the hunt for a new striker.

When Howard Wilkinson was appointed as Leeds boss in October 1988, the Whites had been marooned in Division Two for six seasons, after a host of Revie-era players such as Allan Clarke, Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner had failed to replicate their on-the-pitch heroics in the dugout.

Joe Rodon praised Jaka Bijol's physical and technical abilities, stating, "He’s a very physical defender and also very comfortable on the ball... his qualities allow him to be top, top centre-half."

Leeds United are interested in signing Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer during the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old has been a key player for Sheffield United.

Leeds United have shown keen interest in signing former Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos during the summer transfer window, having submitted a loan offer for the player.

"I had a really open and honest conversation with him. He knows exactly how I view him as a player. I would have preferred a completely fit Patrick Bamford in the last two seasons. He also knows how much I rate him as a person and I thought it was my duty to have a very honest conversation with him straight away."

Leeds are looking to enhance their squad with players of Premier League quality ahead of their return. Douglas Luiz fits this requirement perfectly.
