Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Derby County on Saturday.
The Whites will take on Derby away from home at the Pride Park Stadium in the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final tie on Saturday evening.
Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa has told The Yorkshire Post that Roberts will not play against the Rams due to an ankle injury.
The 20-year-old, who can operate as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder, has been on the sidelines with the injury for a while.
The Daily Mail has reported that Roberts has not given up on playing against the Rams and is determined to play some role against Frank Lampard’s team.
Encouraging for Leeds United
Roberts is a very good and talented young player, and if the attacker is able to regain fitness for Saturday’s match, then it will enhance Leeds’s chances of winning against Derby.
According to WhoScored, the 20-year-old has made 20 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, scoring three goals and providing five assists in the process.
