Kemar Roofe scored a superb hat-trick for Leeds against QPR last time out.

Kemar Roofe has shown fans just how physical Championship football can be by posting a picture on Instagram of his Leeds United shirt from last Saturday’s win over QPR on in his Instagram story.

The 24-year-old has been in excellent form for Leeds this season, scoring nine goals in 21 league and cup outings for Thomas Christiansen’s side and continued his form with a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Ian Holloway’s side.

Roofe, who joined Leeds from Oxford United in the summer of 2016 for a fee of £3million, is expected to start against Norwich City at Elland Road on Saturday – with Caleb Ekuban suffering another foot injury.

The former West Bromwich Albion youngster posted a picture of his Leeds away shirt, showing a huge hole across the sponsor as the Whites attackers were subjected to touch-tight marking from QPR’s defence last time out.

It remains to be seen in what capacity Roofe will be included in Christiansen’s starting line-up on Saturday, with it near impossible to drop the versatile attacker.

However, the return of Pierre-Michel Lasogga and the impressive cameo role of outcast Pawel Cibicki could see Roofe fail in his attempts to start up front, but he may be included as an attacking midfielder.

Three points for Leeds against the Canaries would see the Whites move closer to the Championship play-offs, as they remain in seventh place but four points behind sixth-placed Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United.
