Since then, the 29-year-old has made seven appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side across all competitions but has only managed to score one goal in that time (per Transfermarkt).
Could be another difficult watch Saturday ?

It’s a shame that Rodrigo has tested positive for the virus and will have to miss Leeds’ clash against Palace, however, health and safety must come first.
Hopefully, Rodrigo can get back in action for Leeds on the pitch as soon as possible and help his teammates.
Looking at the replies to this post, it’s great to see so many Leeds fans sending their well-wishes to Rodrigo and saying how much the team will miss him. This shows that they see Rodrigo as a vital part of the squad this season.
