Leeds United star Joe Rodon has allayed any injury fears, declaring himself “okay” after a big blow on international duty with Wales.
Whites centre back Rodon was handed his latest start for the Dragons in Saturday evening’s Nations League clash in Turkey in which the defender looked in big trouble after clashing heads with teammate Mark Harris.

Harris was then taken off at the interval but Rodon continued with heavy bandaging and went on to play the full duration of the match that ended in a goalless draw. The Whites star even picked up the man of the match award and then declared himself fine to post match media.
"To be fair, I think I am used to them in the Championship to be honest," Rodon told Sgorio, asked how the head was as he sported a big cut.
"It's every other week. It is what it is, a bit of a mix up but we are both okay and that's the main thing."
