# Leeds United: Fans react negatively after Marcelo Bielsa’s comments on Jean-Kevin Augustin

**Leeds United fans were reacting negatively after Marcelo Bielsa provided an update on Jean-Kevin Augustin ahead of their clash against Wigan Athletic.**

The Argentine revealed that the France under-21 international is in ‘good physical health’, however, he claimed there are ‘other factors’ at play when talking about whether he will be ready for action [(via Phil Hay)](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1222864673994891265). The 22-year-old joined the club this week after completing his loan move from Bundesliga side Red Bull Leipzig.

One fan saw parallels with former player Eddie Nketiah:

Bielsa’s comments seem to hint that Patrick Bamford will continue in attack for the Whites. The former Middlesbrough centre forward ended a run of 325 minutes without a goal when he scored a brace against Millwall on Tuesday evening [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-bamford/leistungsdaten/spieler/183334). Augustin himself hasn’t enjoyed the best of seasons this campaign, having [scored just one goal in 13 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jean-kevin-augustin/leistungsdaten/spieler/264956).

Fans were left feeling less than happy with their manager after his comments on when Augustin will be ready for action as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
