Leeds United will be without Kemar Roofe for their upcoming Championship clash.

Several Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to express their frustration after Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that the Whites would be without Kemar Roofe for their clash with Millwall this weekend.

Roofe has made a stunning start to the new season, scoring four goals and providing two assists for the early Championship leaders. His form made the news that Patrick Bamford will miss the next four months seem a lot more bearable for Leeds fans.

But, in comments reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Bielsa has suggested that Roofe will miss the trip to The Den after receiving a kick in training.

It is a big blow for Leeds given that their record against the Lions is not the best. And it has seemingly left a number of Whites fans feeling a lot more pessimistic about their chances of bagging a positive result.

Bielsa now faces a tricky decision regarding who will lead the line against Neil Harris’ side. Tyler Roberts appears to be the obvious candidate and it has been suggested that it could be a golden opportunity given his difficult start to life with Leeds.

But it appears that he has some doubters to win over, with some suggesting that they are not sure whether Leeds are going to look quite as dangerous without Roofe in the side. There has also been some criticism regarding the club’s movements in the transfer window given that the apparent lack of depth has already been exposed after six games.
