Leeds United fans were showing their frustration at the latest news concerning under-23s striker Ryan Edmondson.
It is being reported by Adam Pope that the youngster will be out for two months after he had an operation on a knee injury. This will not be great news for Marcelo Bielsa, who claimed that he was evaluating the performances of the 18-year-old earlier this season (via Leeds Live).,
Patrick Bamford has only scored two goals in his last six outings in the Championship and has struggled with his finishing all campaign. Meanwhile, Tyler Roberts has only just returned to full fitness and Jean-Kevin Augustin won’t feature until he has adapted to the Leeds’ style of football according to his boss. While Edmondson is young, he may well have been an option for the club at some point this campaign given the current situation surrounding the three attackers.
Fans were left bemoaning the news surrounding the England youth international as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
Poor sod cant even get on a weak bench…
