Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this weekend.
Leeds United will return to action this Saturday afternoon when they take on Blackburn Rovers away from home at Ewood Park in the Championship.
The West Yorkshire outfit will head into the match against Blackburn on the back of a 1-1 draw with Brentford at Elland Road in the league.
Ahead of the game, Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa told Leeds Live that striker Kemar Roofe and attacking midfielder Pablo Hernandez are available for the match against Rovers this weekend.
Former Leeds midfielder David Prutton has suggested that 25-year-old Roofe and 33-year-old Hernandez will be key for the Whites in the match.
While predicting Leeds to win 2-1, Prutton wrote on Skysports.com: “Leeds’ injury problems appear to have slightly caught up with them and they start the weekend outside of the top two for the first time this season.
“If Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez return then that would be massive for them, and if they do I think they’ll sneak a win at Ewood Park.”
Stats
Roofe, who can also play as a winger, has scored four goals and provided two assists in six Championship starts for Leeds so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Hernandez, who can also operate as a winger, has scored three goals and provided two assists in five Championship starts for the Whites so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
