Phil Hay delivers latest update on Jean-Kevin Augustin

Leeds United signed Jean-Kevin Augustin during the January transfer window but the striker has hardly featured under Marcelo Bielsa.

The Whites desperately needed to sign a striker after Eddie Nketiah’s loan deal was cut short. However, it seems the 22-year-old striker has dropped way down the pecking order behind Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts.

Augustin has managed only 49 minutes of Championship football and is currently out injured. And chances are high that he will struggle to get into the starting line-up with only nine games left to play.

Roberts scored twice against Hull City, and he is expected to play a crucial role for the rest of the season.
