The Spaniard will miss Leeds United’s trip to Rotherham on Saturday.
Leeds United fans have named the man they want to replace Pablo Hernandez during the Spaniard’s absence with a hamstring injury.
Hernandez has been one of Leeds’ most influential players this season but missed Sunday’s home defeat by Newcastle United and will also sit out Saturday’s trip to Norwich City.
The 31-year-old’s place was filled by Kalvin Phillips last time out, although several Whites fans are keen for Marcus Antonsson to get the nod at the New York Stadium, after his hattrick for the Under-23s on Monday afternoon.
The Swede has struggled for a consistent run in Garry Monk’s side since arriving from Kalmar FF in the summer and has failed to start a league game in more than two months.
He played the full 90 minutes for Jason Blunt’s development squad at Huddersfield, however, and staked his claim by scoring all Leeds’ goals in a 3-2 win.
Antonsson opened the scoring four minutes in and equalised 20 minutes from time, before heading in Alex Mowatt’s cross at the death.
Marco Silvestri, Tyler Denton, Toumani Diagouraga, Matt Grimes and Stuart Dallas were other notable inclusions.
