With Leeds United slowly reintroducing Patrick Bamford from his enforced lay-off with injury in recent weeks, it’s all eyes to our summer signing now to lead the line with confirmation that Kemar Roofe is now crocked.
đź“° | Kemar Roofe will face a period on the sidelines following confirmation that he damaged knee ligaments during the win over Swansea
— Leeds United (@LUFC) February 18, 2019
The 26-year-old has already been hit with injury this season and whilst, from what I can tell, it’s only been confirmed that he has suffered knee ligament damage, the player is said to be “devasted” as with no return timeframe given, fears are high his season could now be over. The issue was sustained in our victory last week over Swansea City.
With 14 goals in 27 appearances for us, that would obviously be a massive blow to our promotion hopes to the Premier League and the selection plans of manager Marcelo Bielsa and with only 14 matches left to play in 2018/19, a return to the pitch this year could be incredibly tight when you factor in re-finding his form and true sharpness.
Fans are less than pleased with the news as it still seems what can go wrong this season, does.
Absolutely gutted he's been awesome not just with his goals but with his link up play ur gonna b missed big style fella get well soon mot alaw

All these injuries are crazy, I’ve never know anything like it! Makes you realise how much we’re over achieving & what a manager Bielsa actually is #LUFC

Wtaf – this is not the news we needed. Izzy Brown’s return all the more important now and if we miss out this season our transfer business in Jan will be under scrutiny.

Can we wrap our players up in cotton wool between now and end of the season please. ????????‍♂️ The squad has coped with hammer blow after hammer blow so far. This is another to contend with at business end of season. #LUFC

That means his season is over.
