Leeds United fans comment and react after star striker injury confirmed

It started off with the following picture (below), and continued with the ensuing scramble as Leeds United fans tried to come to terms with the fact that star striker Kemar Roofe was injured.

Despite picture proof and anecdotal evidence, some Leeds United fans cried ‘Fake News’ and conspiracy theory. They commented that the picture was an old one, pointing to another picture from yesterday of Roofe stood outside an Audi dealership as corroborating their story.

However, with all the to-ing and fro-ing, it was left to Yorkshire Evening Post reporter Phil Hay to relay the confirmation that, indeed, Kemar Roofe was carrying an injury that would require further investigation.

With Leeds United looking to send Roofe for further scans to ascertain the extent of his injury, and likely length of absence, it is safe to say that fan concern is rising. It will be a big loss for the Whites.

The former Oxford United striker is, by some distance, the leading scorer at the club with 14 goals so far this season. The threat of those goals will, of course, be missed as you would expect of a striker with those returns.

If Kemar Roofe is absent for any length of time, there is some light to be shone on this gloom. His absence would coincide with the return to fitness of both Patrick Bamford and Chelsea loanee Izzy Brown.

Bamford has played the lone striker role in Marcelo Bielsa’s set-up the last two games, with Roofe dropping into the more supporting/#10 role. His absence would give Bielsa the ideal opportunity to promote Brown from the bench, the Chelsea youngster having been scoring for fun in the Under-23s in his return to match fitness.

Here’s how some Leeds United fans have commented and reacted to the confirmation of Roofe’s injury.
