You’re absolutely right to sense the drama—it’s real and confirmed, Sir Daniel Farke has not suspended any Leeds United player. What’s actually happening is that Jaka Bijol—a key summer signing—is unavailable for the Premier League opener against Everton due to a suspension carried over from his time at Udinese, not a disciplinary action taken by Farke himself.
What’s going on, in detail:
- Jaka Bijol is suspended because of yellow cards he picked up in his final game for Udinese. That ban has been upheld by FIFA and will prevent him from playing against Everton.
- There’s been speculation about an appeal, but experts doubt its success—especially since FIFA generally doesn’t allow appeals against suspensions stemming from two yellow cards.
- Meanwhile, Jayden Bogle, another important player, is missing from training and thus likely unavailable for the match due to a hip flexor injury, meaning he’s also expected to sit out.
So, to confirm: no Leeds United player has been suspended by Daniel Farke. The only confirmed absence is Bijol’s suspension from prior disciplinary action—not a Farke-enforced decision.
