Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the news that Kemar Roofe will not feature against Aston Villa at the weekend.

The Whites will take on Villa at Elland Road in the Championship on Sunda afternoon.

Leeds head coach Bielsa has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that striker Roofe will not feature against the Villans.

The 26-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, has a hip injury, according to Bielsa.

Roofe has made 26 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds so far this season, scoring 14 goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the injury news regarding Roofe – who has been on the books of the Whites since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Oxford United for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £3 million – and have urged Bielsa to include 17-year-old striker Ryan Edmondson in the team against Villa.
