Image for Leeds United: Fans left excited as image of Raphinha emerges

Leeds United fans have been reacting to an image of Raphinha that has emerged from a recent training session at the club.

As outlined in this recent article by Phil Hay at The Athletic, the Brazilian has had to jump through quite a lot of hoops recently in order to get back from international duty and back into the swing of things at Leeds.

Who was Bielsa's first competitive game as Leeds manager against?

That included not playing in their loss to Southampton at the weekend, a result that leaves Leeds 17th in the table and with just one win to their name so far this campaign.

However, it looks as if he could be gearing up to take part in their next game against Wolves this coming weekend. The club posted this image of him at the training ground at Thorp Arch alongside the caption ‘Back to work!’, and it’s fair to say that there were a number of fans who were delighted to see him on course to return:

“Great to see him back. Him and Kalvin are probably the only two that will be up for the relegation battle we now face”

“AAAAAAAAAH YES”
“I am so glad he is back love him”
“This is a very good sign badly missed last Saturday as anyone with his quality would be”
“The main man is back. Great picture to brighten up your Tuesday. Up the Leeds.”
“Wrap him in bubble wrap and never let him go plz”

Will Raphinha still be at Leeds United next season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

With nine goals and nine assists since joining the club, it’s clear to see he’s important for the side, and he could play a big part in moving Marcelo Bielsa’s men up the table once he’s back in the side again.
