Rival Leeds United stars have no bearing on Marc Roca's importance to the club.
That is according to his head coach Javi Gracia, who spoke about the 26-year-old recently.
He came in for Weston McKennie in a 2-2 draw with Brighton, but came off after an hour.
Speaking to DAZN, Gracia has made it clear what he thinks of Roca.
He has been, is and will be important," he said.
The importance of Marc's participation in the team, from my point of view, should not be reduced to whether he starts every game or not.
He is going to be important for us, without a doubt. I would even go as far as to say on the national scene.
He is a player that could be helping in the national team if the coach considers it appropriate. He is a player who is at a very good level, regardless of whether he plays more or less minutes."
