A report from Football Insider has claimed that Marcelo Bielsa and his coaching staff expect Tyler Roberts to be ‘electric’ for the remainder of Leeds United’s games.
It is claimed that a Leeds source has told Football Insider that the 21-year-old ‘has been dynamite in training’.
The piece also states that Roberts is ‘looking better than ever before’ and that Bielsa is a ‘huge admirer’ of the former West Bromwich Albion man.
However, despite this, Roberts might not start against Cardiff City on Sunday, with the Argentine expected to stick largely with the team from before the enforced break.
The report finally states that Bielsa is set to use Roberts as an impact substitute but that he rates the forward’s versatility and thinks he can become a ‘brilliant player’.
Are you excited to see what Roberts can do for Leeds?
Yes
No
TIF Thoughts…
It seems as if Bielsa has been impressed by Roberts in training and does see him playing a role as the Whites look to secure promotion, but he might not be starting straight away.
Roberts has made 14 appearances for the Whites this season and has scored three goals.
His best game was arguably against Hull City at the end of February when he came off the bench to bag a brace in a 4-0 win.
It was claimed earlier in the season that Bielsa saw Roberts as a crucial player, but been left out of the matchday squad in the league 16 times this year.
Hopefully, he can push on and make a real impression as Leeds look to secure promotion to the Premier League.
