A lot of Leeds United fans are not happy as Phil Hay has revealed that Jean-Kevin Augustin and Ian Poveda will not be involved against Huddersfield Town.
The Athletic reporter was providing updates from Marcelo Bielsa’s press conference, and the Argentine confirmed that Augustin isn’t fit, and Poveda will not be in the squad.
Who will Leeds miss the most?
Augustin
Poveda
This has infuriated these Whites fans who feel that Leeds have made two poor signings.
Football-wise, Augustin isn't fit to play. On Poveda, Bielsa says the squad will be the same as it was for the Hull City game. No other new injuries. #lufc

Something fishy about Augustin in my opinion rumours of a fall out by brown then gets injured.

Such wasteful signings

What do we think?
Augustin has managed just 48 minutes of first-team action since he joined Leeds on loan from RB Leipzig.
Poveda, on the other hand, is yet to feature for the Whites in a first-team match and has only made the bench on two occasions.
The reason Poveda is missing is unclear, but Augustin is out with a hamstring strain – that has ruled him out since the Reading match.
Luckily for Leeds, they have not needed either in recent weeks as they have put together a fine run of form that has seen them win four league matches in a row and not conceded a single goal.
The Whites will be hoping to extend that run on Saturday as the Danny Cowley’s side visit Elland Road.
