A tweet from one exiled Leeds United player has got some Whites supporters wondering whether his return could be imminent.
Leeds confirmed the departure of striker Jean-Kevin Augustin earlier this week at the end of his loan spell from RB Leipzig.
It leaves the Yorkshire side with just Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts as recognised options in Augustin’s position.
But the pair could soon have support in the shape of Rafa Mujica, if the Spaniard’s latest social media post – which showed him wearing a Leeds shirt alongside the ‘soon’ and ‘flexed bicep’ emojis – is anything to go by.
Mujica scored four goals in seven games for temporary employers Villarreal B in the second half of the season.
And it is understood that loan players with clubs who had their seasons curtailed due to the ongoing global health crisis can turn out for their parent sides between now and the end of the campaign.
But it is unclear whether that rule applies to those like Mujica, who has already appeared for the maximum permitted two clubs (Villarreal B and Extremadura) this term.
The 21-year-old arrived at Elland Road from Barcelona B last summer and has yet to appear in a competitive fixture for Leeds.
