Graham Smyth has reported on Twitter that Leeds United winger Raphinha was speaking to the medical staff before the match against Everton at Goodison Park.
Raphinha was in action for Leeds in their Premier League game against Everton away from home at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Brazil international winger was substituted at half time.
Tyler Roberts replaced Raphinha.
Now, it is not exactly clear why Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa decided to take off Raphinha, but it could be an injury issue.
The Yorkshire Evening Post’s Chief Football Writer Smyth has reported on Twitter the he saw Raphinha speak to the Leeds medical staff during warm-up.
Potential Raphinha injury worrying for Leeds
Now, we have to make it clear that at this stage, we do not officially know why Bielsa decided to take off Raphinha.
Maybe the Brazil international winger is injured.
If so, Bielsa will tell us in his post-match press conference.
In our view, if Raphinha is injured and now has a spell on the sidelines, then it will be a blow for Leeds.
The West Yorkshire club are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship, and they need Raphinha.
