Leeds United haven’t exactly enjoyed this international break, as a couple of Whites stars have picked up injuries.

Diego Llorente has suffered a knock with Spain, whilst Liam Cooper has picked up an injury with Scotland.

Marcelo Bielsa will be desperate to avoid any more issues in the coming days, with Leeds facing a big game against Wolverhampton Wanderers next Monday.

Tomorrow night, striker Rodrigo will be in action for Spain as they travel to take on Ukraine, having already played Portugal and Switzerland in this international break.

The 29-year-old scored against Manchester City before the international break, but it still waiting for his Leeds career to take flight.

Leeds paid big money to sign him from Valencia, and it’s quite remarkable that the Whites have a Spain regular sat on their bench after only just winning promotion.

On Sunday, Leeds posted a clip of Rodrigo in Spain training, showing exactly what he can bring to the Leeds side, with quick footwork and a superb finish.

It may take a little while for him to supplant Patrick Bamford in the Leeds side, but his quality is clear, and he can offer something a little different to Bamford with his quick feet and technical ability.
