Every injury Leeds United have suffered in the 2025-26 Premier League season.

The 2025-26 season is a massive one for Leeds United, as they aim to secure Premier League survival in their first season back in the top flight for two years.

Daniel Farke was backed as the man for the job by the 49ers after securing the Championship title with 100 points.

Though Leeds had a disastrous deadline day, Farke added 10 new players to his squad in the transfer window, spending over £100m.

Leeds have added experience, height and physicality to their squad in the bid to beat the drop, but it’s going to be a long, hard battle.

Injuries to key players won’t make it any easier and here is a tracker of every Leeds injury suffered throughout the campaign.

Leeds United injuries in 2025-26

The season is still in its early stages, but Leeds have already suffered nine different injuries, which have seen players miss at least one game.

That doesn’t even include Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed the opening fixtures of the campaign due to a lack of match fitness after signing on a free transfer, and injuries suffered in pre-season.

While the likes of captain Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka and Noah Okafor recovered from their knocks quickly, that isn’t the case for everyone, and Okafor is now back in the treatment room.

However, Lucas Perri is now back in the squad, while Dan James and Willy Gnonto are nearing returns.

Here’s every injury Leeds have suffered in the 2025-26 season:

Leeds United are not alone in suffering injuries

Leeds are by no means an outlier in suffering so many injuries in the early weeks of the season.

Relegation rivals Sunderland already have several long-term absences, including new midfielder Habib Diarra, who they beat Leeds to sign.

Burnley, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Tottenham are all dealing with several injuries, too.

It’s unlikely that any club will survive losing a key player this season, especially given that AFCON takes place in December and January.

So it won’t be the teams that avoid injuries that stay up, but the ones that cope with the inevitability the best. Leeds aren’t doing too badly so far.
