Leeds United fans have been left distraught by injury news surrounding a number of first-team players.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men haven’t got off to the best start this season, winning just three of their 15 games, meaning they sit just six points above the relegation zone.
And with a rather daunting looking fixture list ahead of them, they are going to need all the help they can get to keep as far away from the drop as possible.
However, they were dealt a hammer blow on Thursday as the club revealed that Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips, Robin Koch and captain Liam Cooper have all suffered a variety of injuries that will leave them out for various lengths of time.
The news was relayed to the Leeds United fans by the club on their Twitter feed for them to react to, where it’s fair to say they were left rather despondent to hear the update, with some fearful that relegation could well be on the cards following the news:
“Helllloooooooooo relegation”
Will Marcelo Bielsa be Leeds manager next season?
Yes
No
It certainly is going to be tricky for Bielsa and his notoriously small squad to navigate these next few games without these players, let’s just hope that he finds a way to manage it without seeing Leeds go on a bad run that plunges them into a relegation battle.
