New boy Bijol suspended for season opener

July 18, 2025

Leeds United have been hit with a suspension blow for the opening game of the Premier League season against Everton thanks to a harsh second yellow card for what looked like a perfect challenge.

New signing Jaka Bijol completed a £15m move from Serie A to Elland Road last month, ending a protracted period of negotiations between the club and a delay over the final paperwork.

The 6ft 4ins centre-half was Leeds' priority signing for the heart of Daniel Farke's defence and their second new addition of the summer after free agent striker Lukas Nmecha put pen to paper.
