Est. Return 2/10/2026
Hopes to return after Forest game
Bijol (hamstring) is eyeing a potential return after their match against Nottingham Forest on Feb. 6, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Jaka will definitely also miss the Arsenal game," the boss said. "He is progressing in his rehab. We hope to have him back on the other side of the Nottingham game."
ANALYSIS
Bijol is still not an option, but has received some positive news, as the defender is progressing in rehabilitation. This leaves the defender eyeing a return after their Nottingham Forest match on Feb. 6, potentially an option to face Chelsea on Feb. 10. This would mean a return of a starting defender, something the club will hope comes sooner rather than later.

Facing decent absence
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."
