Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is eager for Rodrigo and Ian Poveda to return from injury.

Rodrigo went down with what looked like a groin problem before being replaced by Mateusz Klich on 21 minutes in the 3-1 win over Leicester on Sunday.

Poveda was hurt following a collision on the halfway line in an under-23s game against Sunderland on Monday and had to leave the field just 10 minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute.

Asked when he expected the pair to be back, Bielsa replied: "It all depends on the evolution of their injuries. It's not a question of days, more of weeks.

"Rodrigo fell and his legs separated and caused an elongation more than usual and this caused the injury.

"I saw a picture of the position both of his feet ended up in and the difference between them was different to what we would expect."
