Leeds United won against Norwich City at Carrow Road in the Championship on Saturday.
Noel Whelan has told BBC Sport (17:15) that Kemar Roofe played well for Leeds United against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.
Roofe, who can operate as a winger or as a striker, featured in Leeds’s Championship game against Norwich away from home at Carrow Road.
The 23-year-old started the match and played for 55 minutes, when he was taken off due to a head injury.
Former Leeds striker Whelan was impressed with the performance of the ex-West Bromwich Albion prospect before his substitution.
The 41-year-old former Coventry City striker has also stated that Leeds head coach Garry Monk was right in taking off Roofe.
“We’re forgetting about what Roofe did today,” Whelan told BBC Sport (17:15). “Everything unfolded as he came off, but his workrate was superb. He should have done better with the header but he’ll be the first to admit that.
“It was a necessary precaution to take Roofe off. There might be people with him over night because it could be delayed concussion. You’re talking about someone’s health here.”

Leeds won the match against Norwich 3-2 and are now in the Championship playoffs. The West Yorkshire outfit are getting positive results at the moment and are in good form.
There is still a long way to go this season, but the Whites certainly look like they can be a success this campaign.
Leeds will take on Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United at Elland Road in the Championship after the international break.
