Sebastiaan Bornauw
27-Year-Old
Leeds United
Premier
Plays 72 minutes in return
Bornauw (undisclosed) started and played 72 minutes in Thursday's 1-0 friendly win over Sunderland, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Bornauw had been held out of an earlier preseason friendly against Wrexham as a precaution for a very minor issue, so his extended run of minutes in this match confirms he is fully available again. His versatility across the back line makes him a useful option for Leeds United as preseason continues ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Picks up injury, likely to play
Bornauw is suffering from a slight ankle injury but is still likely to be an option Sunday against Chelsea, according to manager Daniel Farke. "During the warm-up, he rolled his ankle, and it was not ideal. Yesterday it was pretty, pretty sore. Also, today, he was not able to join us in team training, but I hope it is not too bad. At least it seems that there is no ligament injury. I hope to have him back in training tomorrow, and if he is back in training, then he would also be available."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to Germany
Hamburg are interested in signing Bornauw this summer, according to Hamburger Abendblatt.
ANALYSIS
Bornauw previously established himself in Germany before moving to England, making a Bundesliga return a logical possibility. Hamburg view the 27-year-old as an experienced option capable of strengthening their defense, though Leeds may be reluctant to lose the defender unless presented with a suitable offer. Bornauw was limited to just five starts and 12 appearances for the Whites in the 2025/26 campaign, so he might not be opposed to a change of scenery.
