Leeds United are due to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside on Friday.
Paul Heckingbottom revealed via the BBC on Thursday that Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez are doubts for Leeds United’s trip to Middlesbrough on Friday.
And the new Leeds boss insisted there is no need to risk the pair, who missed Saturday’s home win against Brentford – should the game even go ahead amid snowy conditions in the United Kingdom.
Hernandez and Roofe have scored thirteen goals and created eight between them in the Championship this season, but whereas most Leeds fans would be pleased to see the Spaniard return at the Riverside, some are keen to leave the latter behind.
Here’s what they’re saying about the £3 million signing from Oxford United on Twitter…
Meanwhile, Heckingbottom has confirmed Leeds midfielder Adam Forshaw is back in contention, having also sat out Saturday’s victory due to the birth of his child.
Another January recruit, Tyler Roberts, will however miss out as the Whites continue to assess whether or not the forward requires surgery.
