Leeds United have revealed top scorer Rodrigo will spent the next two months on the sidelines through injury. The forward sustained the ankle injury in the 3-1 win over Accrington Stanley on Saturday afternoon.
With scans showing bone and ligament damage at the joint, Rodrigo has undergone minor surgery this week to rectify the issue. As such, he will spend the next few weeks in the treatment room, watching on as Leeds enter what looks to be a critical point in the Premier League season.
It is hoped he will be fit to make a return by the end of March, but the news is clearly a huge blow for Jesse Marsch, who spoke last weekend of injuries clearing up at Thorp Arch. Rodrigo has scored 12 goals in all competitions for the Whites and although the head coach does have numbers in attacking areas, the Spaniard's presence in the side will be sorely missed.
