With manager Marcelo Bielsa confirming that he will welcome back three players to his Leeds United squad for this weekend’s trip to Blackburn Rovers, whilst the exact part they will play remains open for debate, fans are salivating at the chance to get back to full strength and hopefully, start seeing the goals begin to fly in again.
With injuries hitting our extremely bright start to the season, people have stepped up to the plate – namely Tyler Roberts and other youngsters who have impressed when called upon – and we’ve kept ourselves more than ticking over with the points we’ve picked up.
Blackburn is another opportunity for three points though, and the following fans are far from alone in thinking Blackburn might be up for a bit of a tonking if everyone is fit and raring to go.

We have missed Pablo & Roofe especially! If we had them for the past few games I have no doubt we’d have at least 3 extra points

Blackburn getting a tonking

No disrespect to Blackburn meant but with almost fully fit sqaud we should expect to win that game

I’d still be surprised to see major changes to the starting XI as I’d expect those returning to mainly get minutes under their belt in the second half to bring them on further, but the optimism is certainly to be welcomed.
Hernandez is more likely to start in fairness, given news of Jack Harrison’s muscular injury, but we’ll see.
