Leo Hjelde
22-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
OUT
Injury Achilles
Est. Return 10/18/2025

Return takes longer than expected
Hjelde (achilles) will remain out for the time being due to injury, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference, according to the Northern Echo. "Leo has struggled with his Achilles and will be a bit longer than expected as well. He had the surgery for both (of his Achilles) and worked hard last season to be connected with the squad, even if it was painful. But now, like Dennis, he has to rest completely to be able to connect with the squad again later."
ANALYSIS
Hjelde had surgery for both of his Achilles and his recovery will need some more time, making him unavailable for the time being. That said, with the recent addition of Reinildo and Arthur Masuaku, his absence isn't impacting the starting XI.
