These Leeds United fans have been reacting to a photo of an injured Pablo Hernandez being embraced by Marcelo Bielsa.
Bielsa has updated everyone on Hernandez’s injury, with the manager stating: “It’s a muscular problem. I think it will be a problem (for Boxing Day).”
With Hernandez being 34-years-old and still playing regular competitive football in a tough league like the Championship, it’s no surprise that he’ll pick up an injury here and there. However, with the Spaniard averaging a WhoScored rating of 7.2/10 in the 17 league matches he’s played, fans will be wanting the 34-year-old to make a speedy recovery.
Here’s what the Leeds fans had to say about the Hernandez injury:

Pablo deserves promotion with the club, has been a genius on the pitch when fit. His 16 sec goal vs WBA last season was icing. #mot

Is Pablo Hernandez the most loved Leeds United player?
Yes
No
So far this season the Spanish midfielder has managed to score three goals and assist four times, not a bad return for just 17 matches.
What Do We Think?
Hernandez not only brings goals and assists, but the 34-year-old also brings knowledge and experience, which is the main reason Bielsa will be sad he’s unavailable.
Nevertheless, this can also be seen as a chance for some of the young players to get a chance, maybe Tyler Roberts can be given a go in the attacking-midfielder role?
