Leeds United fans on Twitter cannot believe their luck as Diego Llorente adds his name to the injury list at Elland Road.
Robin Koch, who was forced off at the weekend with an injury and replaced by Llorente at Stamford Bridge, is another Leeds centre-back who is out of action.
That leaves the Yorkshire outfit with only the experienced Liam Cooper to choose from which means that Bielsa will have to pick one of his versatile talents to partner the Scotsman.
Bielsa told Leeds Live in his press conference on Wednesday that his £18 million player [BBC Sport] will take ‘a while to recover’ after suffering a new muscular problem.
Leeds fans are understandably annoyed with the situation because it just adds unnecessary problems to their currently mixed season.
In attack, Leeds have a natural style and the depth to hurt any opposition, but their 100 miles per hour ways doesn’t suit their defence, nor do they have the depth.
It begs the question as to whether Bielsa will dip into the transfer market when the January window re-opens next month because more options are needed.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Leeds fans reacting to the Llorente news:
