Scoring two or three goals every game is not the only way Leeds United will stay in the Premier League this season. Javi Gracia is more than prepared to be pragmatic and rely on a defence which has steadily improved in recent weeks.
On Saturday at Chelsea, it was painfully clear how much the Whites were missing Patrick Bamford and, even more so, top scorer Rodrigo. For someone who has been criticised for more than two years as a misfit forward in United’s system, the Spain international has more than answered his critics.
The Whites faithful is clinging to news of the 32-year-old’s return to action. Less than two weeks ago, Rodrigo told LeedsLive he expected to be in contention before the international break, making him available to Gracia either this weekend or next.
