Leeds United attacker Izzy Brown could be left on the sidelines for some time yet.
Brown joined Leeds in the summer transfer window, but he arrived with an injury.
The Chelsea youngster is yet to make his debut for Leeds, and Bielsa has suggested that the forward has not even trained with the ball yet.
“It’s a very different case. It’s been a long time since he played, he still needs to recover,” Bielsa said.
“He hasn’t started to play with the ball, he hasn’t played with us so far. It’s impossible to say when he will be fit. It won’t be a short time.”
Brown’s eventual return to full fitness will be welcomed at Leeds, as their striking options are currently short.
Leeds had to make do without Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford for their match against Millwall at the weekend.
While Roofe’s injury is only a slight problem, Bamford could be out for months.
Brown may well make it back before Bamford, in what should be a boost to Leeds’ attack.
Bielsa was forced to pick Tyler Roberts up-front in Leeds’ last match against Millwall.
