A lot of Leeds United fans cannot believe that Tyler Roberts and Adam Forshaw will miss yet another week of action.
Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that both players were still out, and he was unsure when they would be available as he gave updates ahead of the club’s clash with Queens Park Rangers.
Who would make a bigger impact for Leeds if fit?
Roberts
Forshaw
Forshaw was supposed to be back on grass this week, but he still must be very short of match fitness, having not played since the end of September.
Roberts missed six games after suffering an injury against Reading before then featuring for nine minutes in the Birmingham City match, but he has not played since.
This latest injury update has not gone down well with many Whites supporters who have had enough of both.
Forshaw and Roberts not fit. Bielsa can't say when they'll be back.

We can not count these two players in our squad, dount we will see them again this season @andrearadri do something about it!

Honestly, this is pure comedy. In any other job they’d have been dismissed on capability grounds ages ago. Chucking away probably £50k/week… madness ?

It’s about time we got replacements for these two and any of the others who are constantly injured, does no favours for the squad to have them available for a few matches then out for months on end! #lufc

What do we think?
Roberts, who is valued at £3.6m by Transfermarkt, is seemingly rated by Marcelo Bielsa and was going to be one of his key players.
However, the Welsh international has struggled with injuries this season and, as a result, has only made ten appearances for the Whites.
Forshaw, on the other hand, has been dealing with a hip injury since Leeds’ 1-0 defeat to Charlton.
Since then, the former Brentford man, who is valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt, has missed 20 matches, and Bielsa seems to have no idea when he will be back.
This is odd because it was reported earlier in the week that Forshaw was back out and running.
Either way, both could be good players for Leeds, but they are no use if they are sat at home watching.
