Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa says 'it's not a question of days, more of weeks' until Rodrigo and Ian Poveda return after the pair both sustained injuries in the last week

Marcelo Bielsa has revealed that attacking duo Rodrigo and Ian Poveda will be missing for a number of weeks due to injury.

Rodrigo went down with what looked like a groin problem before being replaced by Mateusz Klich on 21 minutes in the 3-1 win over Leicester on Sunday.

Poveda was hurt following a collision on the halfway line in an under-23s game against Sunderland on Monday and had to leave the field just 10 minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute. Leeds went on to win that game 2-0.
