January 22, 2026
Bijol (hamstring) is out for the next three to five weeks due to his injury, but is planning to train in the next two to three weeks, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Kyle Newbound of the Workshire Evening Post. "Rehab progress has started. Difficult to predict, three-to-five weeks, it looks like it could be the more positive timeframe. One week gone, he's already improving and doing stuff in the gym. I hope to have him back in team training in two-to-three weeks."
ANALYSIS
Bijol was dealt a hamstring injury over the weekend and has finally received his timeline, as the defender is out for the next three to five weeks as he heals. Luckily, it appears he is already on the mend, with a plan to train in around two weeks. The hope will be that he can return by the end of February, potentially missing less time than expected, depending on his training.
