Leeds striker is ready to make an impact.
Tyler Roberts could have a key role to play for Leeds over the coming weeks.
Patrick Bamford’s injury means Roberts is next in line to up front to back up Kemar Roofe.
Roberts has spent the international break with Wales’ senior squad for the first time, making two substitute appearances.
Working with Ryan Giggs’ side comes as big confidence booster when he needed it, having struggled for game time at Leeds this season.
His starts in the cup have seen Roberts played out wide, with minimal impact, and he has dropped down to the under-23s for playing time.
With Bamford out, Roberts’ chance of playing time has increased and he is ready to make an impact against Millwall this weekend if called upon by Marcelo Bielsa.
Roberts sent a message on Instagram showing he is looking forward to getting back to work for his club.
Leeds are top of the league after six games and will want to show the international break has not halted their momentum.
Their season trailed off after a bright start last season following a defeat at Millwall, increasing the importance of this weekend’s fixture.
Now would a perfect time for Roberts to bag his first league goal for the Whites and kickstart his Leeds career following his injury hit spell so far since his £4 million move from West Brom.
