A lot of Leeds United fans are thrilled to have Pablo Hernandez back from injury.
Marcelo Bielsa confirmed in his press conference that the Spaniard is fit and available for Saturday’s match with Sheffield Wednesday.
Have Leeds missed Hernandez?
Yes
No
The Whites have missed Hernandez for the past four matches, and having him back gives Bielsa another attacking option.
These Leeds fans are delighted that Hernandez has returned from injury.
From Bielsa's press conference – Hernandez and Shackleton both available for the weekend. #lufc

That’s huge news. Did not expect Pablo back that quickly. Praying he doesn’t do the same injury again anytime soon

What do we think?
Bielsa also told reporters that Jamie Shackleton is back and ready for selection.
So, Leeds are edging closer to having a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Pablo Hernandez has scored three goals this season and provided four assists – so though he is not as important as last year, he is still a useful player for the Whites to have available.
Nevertheless, this could be the kind of boost that really allows the Whites to kick on as they continue to chase promotion to the Premier League.
