Leeds United could now be without two more players after Patrick Bamford’s injury.
It has all been going so well for Leeds United so far this season, but the international break has provided Marcelo Bielsa with something of a speed bump.
The Whites sit top of the Championship table with no defeats this season, and fans have been excited to see their side back in action against Millwall this weekend.
Supporters were a little disappointed when Patrick Bamford suffered a PCL injury and was ruled out for four months though, and there is more bad injury news emerging.
TEAMtalk report that two more players have suffered considerable injuries, with Gaetano Berardi and Pablo Hernandez allegedly set for spells on the sidelines.
Starting with Berardi, the Swiss defender has been a key part of Bielsa’s defence this season having switched from full back to centre back, even keeping Pontus Jansson out of the team.
However, the 30-year-old was seen leaving the Middlesbrough game on crutches, and is now thought to be missing three weeks of action with an undetermined injury.
With Hernandez, 33, the playmaker has thrived under Bielsa this term, notching three goals and two assists in five appearances, and he missed the game against Middlesbrough before the international break.
Now, TEAMtalk claim that a ‘muscular injury’ will keep Hernandez out for around five weeks, dealing Bielsa two major blows as the experienced duo face time on the sidelines – but present chances to some fringe players.
