Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe has missed his side’s last three matches.
Roofe has missed Leeds last three games with injury, with Tyler Roberts filling in up-front.
The youngster has done well, but Leeds have missed Roofe’s presence.
And Bielsa has suggested that the Elland Road crowd won’t have to wait long until this season’s top scorer returns to the fold.
“Roofe is close to the first team, not immediately, but he’s close,” Bielsa said. “Berardi and Pablo also are close to the first team, not as close as Roofe.”
Before picking up the injury, Roofe had netted four goals in six games for Leeds and looked very sharp.
The striker was enjoying arguably his finest run of form since joining Leeds and the hope is that he will return to a similar standard.
Leeds lost their last game to Birmingham City, as they tasted defeat for the first time this season.
The Whites are next in action on Friday evening, when they take on Sheffield Wednesday.
