Pablo Hernandez suffered an injury for Leeds United on Saturday.
Leeds United beat Rotherham United 2-1 on Saturday, but did it come at a cost?
Marcelo Bielsa reportedly told a press conference [Yorkshire Evening Post] that playmaker Pablo Hernandez ‘complained off an injury’ at full-time, with Bielsa taking him off in stoppage time.
The Spaniard has arguably been Leeds’ best player this season, scoring seven times and setting up 10 goals in 20 Championship starts.
The Whites, who have a six-point cushion in the automatic promotion spots, cannot afford to lose someone of the 33-year-old’s quality as Bielsa looks to mastermind a Premier League return.
Here is how fans of the Elland Road club reacted to what the Argentine reportedly said at full-time:
The last thing Leeds need right now is another top player missing.
United have had their fair share of injuries this season, with Patrick Bamford and Gaetano Berardi still sidelined after both had brief comebacks.
In truth, the West Yorkshire side needed another number 10 even before Hernandez’s injury, in light of Samu Saiz’s exit, so if he is out for a while then it could be a big, big problem.
Until the injury is assessed, Leeds fans and Bielsa are in the dark.
