da betway： Tyler Roberts went down with an injury during the first half of Leeds’ game against Reading on Tuesday, and now it has been confirmed that the issue he picked up during that game is enough to keep him out of action for this weekend’s clash against Middlesbrough.
Bad luck
This is just bad luck for the Welshman.
He was seemingly getting into his stride this season in an attacking midfield role, but once again, injuries are haunting him. The youngster scored a few weeks ago but after missing early parts of the campaign, he faces another period on the sidelines.

The Athletic’s Leeds United correspondent stated in a recent Q&A session that he’d heard it was a minor hamstring strain, but there’s been no official confirmation of what Roberts’ problem is.
His absence leaves Marcelo Bielsa with a decision to make this weekend as he has to decide whether to change his formation or use another player in Roberts’ role.

Bielsa’s choice
So, it seems as if the Argentine has two choices in this scenario.
He can either abandon his recent experiment in playing with a number 10 and revert back to using a four at the back system or use wing-backs in his three at the back.
Or he could use another player in the attacking midfield role.
Leeds don’t really have any out and out players who usually operate in the position, but they could use Pablo Hernandez there effectively.
The Spaniard moved into the space vacated by Tyler Roberts on Tuesday, and while he didn’t have the best of games, playing just one key pass, it allowed Helder Costa to operate much more effectively down the right.
Hernandez’s passing and dribbling skills should suit him nicely to a number 10 role, and with Costa putting in a solid performance that was capped off by an assist against the Royals, now would be a great time to experiment with both Costa and Hernandez on the same pitch.
In other news, Leeds fans are worried about one Championship team creeping up on them.
