Jesse Marsch opens up on Rodrigo injury as he gives positive update on Leeds United quartet

Jesse Marsch has reiterated his disappointment in losing Rodrigo for six to eight weeks. The Spaniard has been Leeds United's standout performer this season, notching 12 goals in all competitions, but will miss at least the next two months after scans following their FA Cup tie with Accrington Stanley showed damage to his ligaments and bones around the joint.

Rodrigo will miss a number of important games as the Whites battle for Premier League survival, starting with Nottingham Forest this weekend. Adam Forshaw, Archie Gray and Stuart Dallas will all miss the trip to the City Ground but are well on with their recoveries.

Marsch said: "Obviously we made the announcement on Rodrigo yesterday, so unfortunately he picked up an injury at the end of the match that'll keep him out for probably six to eight weeks. Adam [Forshaw] we're building up but not quite ready yet.
