Leeds United have lost another player to injury it seems.
It never rains but it pours for Leeds United this season.
The Whites’ automatic promotion hopes suffered a huge blow over the past week, following successive defeats by Wigan and Brentford.
Then Leeds lost Ezgjan Alioski for the rest of the season, before Marcelo Bielsa ruled Kemar Roofe out of Sunday’s visit of Aston Villa.
And now the same applies to Leif Davis, a candidate to replace the Macedonia international at left-back, as the 19-year-old is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Davis, who joined United last summer, posted a photo of his knee on social media after undergoing surgery.
Here’s how Leeds fans reacted to another injury setback:
Leeds’ injury list this season is indeed ‘staggering’.
Stuart Dallas, who has also been through the ringer this season, is set to start at left-back against the Villans tomorrow, now that Davis, Alioski and Barry Douglas are out.
Bielsa’s side are three points behind second-placed Sheffield United with only the two Championship games left.
If the Blades beat already-relegated Ipswich Town today, they will almost certainly be going up automatically irrespective of how the West Yorkshire side fare against Villa.
