OPINION

Pontus Jansson has been sidelined for three weeks after his injury in the game against Sheffield United. The news was confirmed by the official Leeds Twitter account on Monday morning and it could be worse as it was followed up by an update from Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, who said he would be a major doubt for two games – against Millwall and Birmingham. Jansson injured his knee late on in the game but couldn’t leave the pitch after Marcelo Bielsa had already made three substitutions. He moved up front before taking the place of Kiko Casilla in goal, and there was always a danger that he was doing more damage to an obvious injury. The only silver lining is that it could possibly have been worse, but if he does miss two games he’ll be a huge loss to Leeds, who will probably look to Gaetano Berardi as the enforcer’s replacement. It was a bad weekend all round for Leeds. The defeat against Sheffield United has seen Leeds drop out of the automatic promotion spots with just eight games left. Norwich’s win has seen them move five points ahead of Leeds at the top.

Here are the best reactions to the Jansson injury news:
