Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to one of the latest social media posts from Whites journalist Phil Hay.
This comes after Hay shared a thread on his official Twitter account, relaying news originally shared by Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa during his recent press conference ahead of the Yorkshire club’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
In his post, Hay relayed that Rodrigo will miss the game and will be evaluated next week and that Diego Llorente is still missing from the squad.
Hay also added in his post that Raphinha has a chance of being in the squad for their trip to Palace, but a final decision will be made on him on Friday.
This post from Hay then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans, who were quick to share their thoughts on this latest update.
So, what did these Leeds fans make of Hay’s post?
From Bielsa's presser – Rodrigo obviously out of the Palace trip. Will be evaluated next week. Llorente still missing too. Raphinha has a chance but a decision will be made on him tomorrow. #lufc

Leeds’ previous Premier League match saw them lose 4-1 to Leicester City on Monday night at Elland Road.
How long is Llorente out for Phil? So frustrating not having someone of his quality involved.

Are you confident Leeds can beat Palace?
Yes
No
Could really do with Raphinha being fit, squad looked very much like a championship squad on Monday.

Now that Hay has shared this post on his official Twitter page, this paved the way for lots of Leeds fans to have their say on the matter.
Never thought I’d say it but we need this international break! regroup and get everyone fit , bench looks very bare atm . Still think we can do a job on Saturday tho but it will be difficult.

Looking at the replies to Hay’s post, it appears these Leeds fans aren’t happy about the possibility that Rodrigo, Llorente and Raphinha could all be unavailable for the match against Palace at the weekend.
With Rodrigo and Llorente definitely out, these Leeds fans will now be hoping that Raphinha will be declared fit enough to play against Roy Hodgson’s side. If not, the best they can do would be to hope that their team can put in a good performance at the weekend and pick up all three points.
