Leeds fans react to Roberts injury
Leeds United revealed on Wednesday that Tyler Roberts was facing ‘an extended period’ on the sidelines after picking up an ankle problem during a training session.
Roberts, 19, joined Leeds from West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the January transfer window, with the Whites believed to have paid £2.5m for the attacker’s services.
Roberts has not yet made his debut for the Championship club, and could now reportedly miss the remainder of the season with Leeds confirming in a statement that initial scans revealed a small crack in the teenager’s shin.
The news has come as a big blow to the Leeds supporters, who are not a happy bunch at the moment due to their team’s struggles in the Championship.
Indeed, a run of five defeats in their last seven league matches has seen the team drop into 11th position in the table – eight points off the playoff positions.
