A lot of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the latest update to emerge from the Yorkshire club ahead of their game on Friday. 

Journalist Phil Hay relayed Marcelo Bielsa’s latest injury news with the Whites set to travel north for their Premier League clash against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.

The Argentine manager confirmed Pascal Struijk, Robin Koch, Diego Llorente will all be missing from the squad for the trip to Tyneside with Struijk suspended, Koch and Llorente both out through respective injury issues.

Leeds fans flocked to Hay’s post on Thursday to share their frustrations with the latest news to emerge as Bielsa’s side aim to record their first win of the Premier League campaign.

What exactly did these Leeds fans have to say?

“Yikes”

“Hahaha unreal just forfeit”
“This is something I would’ve wrote at the start of the season as a joke”
“Koch is a real concern with his injuries. Same with Llorente. Both seem to pick up knocks often. However it is what it is.”
“Absolute pain”
“Concede 3. Score 4. Our backline is in shambles”
“We are in serious trouble”

Although the Whites will be without midfielder Adam Forshaw for Friday’s game, the Argentine manager has admitted the 29-year-old is expected to be in contention for next week’s game.

With Leeds having already conceded the second-most of any Premier League side already this season, it is clear to see there is a concern at the defensive options available for Friday.
