Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe is out through injury at the moment.
Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe is sidelined at the moment, but his absence has given him the chance to meet a club legend.
Roofe, 26, may have struggled in his first season at Elland Road, but he has been simply sensational under Marcelo Bieal this term.
The forward has hit 14 goals and two assists in 26 Championship games, helping fire Leeds into promotion contention.
However, Roofe recently picked up knee ligament damage, and the Yorkshire Evening Post report that he is unlikely to play before April.
That’s a major blow for Leeds, and whilst they will hope to have him back available as soon as possible, his time out has given him chance to rub shoulders with a Leeds hero.
Roofe took to Instagram on Monday to post a photo of himself with Leeds legend Gordon Strachan, with the strapping around Roofe’s knee on show.
Scot Strachan made more than 200 appearances for Leeds following a 1989 move from Manchester United, and he scored 44 goals from midfield in a fine spell at Elland Road.
Roofe admitted that meeting Strachan was ‘priceless’, noting that he’s an influential figure and was delighted to hear his thoughts, with Strachan no doubt desperate to see Leeds back in the Premier League too.
