da gbg bet： Pablo Hernandez’s injury has left Leeds in a rather sticky situation.
da dobrowin： Of course, losing your two-time Player of the Year winner is always going to cause a problem, but this probably couldn’t have come at a worse time for United.
Not only do Leeds have an incredibly demanding fixture list in the coming weeks, but the man who they’d usually look towards to replace Hernandez is only just coming back from injury, and Bielsa usually likes to ease his players back into proceedings.

We think that the Argentine should change his ways to get Tyler Roberts back into the side immediately, but if he doesn’t fancy that they may also be another alternative option.
Indeed, a graph that shows the most creative players in the Championship was produced last week, and it shows that Leeds may have a Hernandez replacement ready and waiting.
Two things will stick out to any Leeds fan in the above infographic.
The first is that it further reaffirms that Pablo Hernandez is one of the best midfielders in the Championship, but the other is that Mateusz Klich isn’t all that far behind him.
Indeed, the Pole ranks third in the entire division for the number of combined progressive passes and runs that he makes. Thus, it’s not too implausible to think that we could see him moved into a more advanced position to make up for the creativity lost in Hernandez’s absence.
Moving Klich forward obviously leaves another dilemma in the middle of the park with Adam Forshaw being out of action, but Robbie Gotts has been spoken so highly of in recent weeks, so this could be an opportunity to hand him a chance in a deeper role.
