Noel Whelan showers praise on Leeds United winger Pablo Hernandez

Leeds United dropped to second in the Championship table after earning a 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough last weekend.

According to former Leeds player and club hero Noel Whelan, the Whites are missing wing-wizard Pablo Hernandez.

The 33-year-old has missed the last five Championship games for Leeds with a hamstring injury, and the Spaniard has been sorely missed.

Leeds United have won just once during his absence – a 3-0 win over Preston – and it clearly shows how important he is to the side.

Hernandez has scored three goals and two assists in five league games this season, and his creativity and guile from the flanks have been missed in recent games.
