Leeds United are sweating over Kemar Roofe’s knee injury, according to a report.
Leeds United could be about to receive a blow – a very, very big blow.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reported on Sunday that Kemar Roofe was set to undergo a scan today to discover the extent of the knee injury sustained in the midweek win over Swansea.
Roofe, who has 14 Championship goals in 26 outings, was photographed wearing a leg brace in Leeds city centre at the weekend.
The Whites only have 14 league games to go and now is not the time to receive a potentially season-derailing injury to their leading goalscorer.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side sit third and two points behind Championship leaders Norwich City, who have played one game more, but the Elland Road side have Premier League promotion in their own hands.
Here is how Leeds fans reacted to the update on Roofe, a £3 million signing from Oxford United in 2016 [Yorkshire Evening Post].
If Roofe is ruled out for a while, Bielsa can call on fit-again Patrick Bamford.
The former Middlesbrough striker, a £7 million summer signing [Daily Mail], has barely played since August in what’s been an injury-hit first season in West Yorkshire.
But he’s fit for now and if United’s fears are confirmed with Roofe, at least the Argentine has Bamford as a plan-b option.
