Leeds United star Raphinha has offered a positive update on his injury status after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Whites rescued a point as Rodrigo’s late penalty cancelled out a Hwang Hee-chan opener for the visitors.
That late leveller will feel like a win for Leeds fans, who haven’t had all that much to shout about.
In the midst of the celebrations following the goal, there was lingering concern over winger Raphinha and his injury.
Raphinha took a huge blow to his ankle from a rash tackle from Wolves defender Romain Saiss.
The Brazilian was taken off as a result, leaving Leeds fans to fear that their star man will be out for the foreseeable future.
Raphinha sends update to Leeds fans
Losing Raphinha would be a disaster. In 54 minutes against Wolves he was simply Leeds’ best player.
One Key pass, one shot on target, one tackle won, three interceptions and a ridiculous eight successful dribbles.
Raphinha is Leeds’ star man, justifying his club-high £63,5000-a-week wages, and his absence would be hugely felt.
Fortunately, it looks like Leeds have some good news on Raphinha.
The wide man took to Instagram on Saturday night to post that he is ‘fine’ and the injury was nothing serious.
Raphinha added that he will be back soon, giving Leeds fans hope that he will play against Norwich City next weekend.
