Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has explained holding back Pablo Hernandez for last night's defeat to West Ham.

Hernandez remained on the bench for the 2-1 defeat.

Bielsa was asked why he went with Tyler Roberts ahead of the Spaniard late on and he replied: "I chose Tyler Roberts.

"Why? Because I substituted the striker and the characteristics of Tyler Roberts are that of a centre forward and the characteristics of Pablo Hernandez are that of an offensive midfielder.

"Unless the question is why didn't I put Pablo Hernandez as a striker?"
