Robin Koch's start to the 2021/22 season as a Leeds United player was put on hold due to a troublesome pelvic injury which required surgery in the United States.
The defender was absent for Leeds' second game of the campaign against Everton, having injured his 'pubis' in the defeat to Manchester United on the opening day.
Koch deputised for Kalvin Phillips in that game, but was then ruled out for a subsequent four-month period, despite an initially innocuous diagnosis of his problem.
