Marcelo Bielsa has suggested to Leeds Live that Jean-Kevin Augustin may not play for Leeds United again this season.
Augustin joined Leeds in January to great excitement but his time at Elland Road has not gone according to plan.
The French striker has suffered badly with injury, and is once again on the treatment table now.
With time running out on Leeds’ season, there are now fears that he may not feature again before the end of the campaign.
And Bielsa admitted that there is a chance that Augustin has played his last game for the Whites, although he is yet to come to a definite decision.
“We are following what he’s doing and after we evaluate what he’s doing, we take a decision,” he said, when asked if Augustin would play for the Whites again this term.
If Augustin was fit he would surely have a chance of starting for Leeds right now.
Patrick Bamford’s display against Cardiff City in Leeds’ first game back after the restart has attracted a great deal of criticism, but he may well continue up-front due to Bielsa’s lack of options in the position.
Leeds are next in action against Fulham on Saturday, and if they are able to win they will take a huge step towards promotion.
