Here are your Leeds United evening headlines for Sunday, February 26.
Raphinha sustained injury after Barcelona tantrum
The tantrum that Raphinha had after being substituted in the first leg against Manchester United led to him being dropped to the bench in Barcelona's 2-0 win over Cadiz last weekend.
The former Leeds man set-up Marcos Alonso's opener and then scored the equaliser as Barcelona drew 2-2 at Camp Nou.

However, the Brazilian international was left angered by Xavi's decision to withdraw him late on, and kicked a drinks refrigerator, according to Forbes.
As a result, Raphinha picked up a minor injury, which led to him being unable to start the next game. He emerged from the bench for the final 16 minutes, and was restored to the starting XI in Barcelona's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford in the second leg.
Leeds United supporters' plea answered in Javi Gracia debut as Jesse Marsch mark already eclipsed
Leeds United demonstrated their new style of play under Javi Gracia as the Whites stretched the pitch to utilise the flanks during the 1-0 win over Southampton, while also setting a new record for passing accuracy this season.
It was a telling sign that one of Leeds' full-backs, Junior Firpo, was the one to make the difference against the Saints. Width, width and more width was the order of the day under Gracia as the Whites looked to spread the ball to their wide players as much as possible.
Firpo and Luke Ayling will no doubt go on to be key players under Gracia if the win over Southampton was any indication of what the rest of the season has in store. Wilfried Gnonto also showed glimpses of his quality in the wide areas as he looked to take on the opposition defenders at will.
Georginio Rutter hails 'amazing' Elland Road and Javi Gracia impact after Leeds United win
Georginio Rutter has praised Leeds United fans for creating an "amazing" Elland Road atmosphere during the 1-0 win over Southampton.
Junior Firpo's first goal for Leeds sealed a vital three points for the Whites in their battle against relegation. Southampton's visit to West Yorkshire saw Javi Gracia thrown into a must-win scenario for his first game in charge and the Spaniard would have been delighted to kick-start his tenure with victory over the Saints.
Defeats for Everton and Bournemouth capped off a near-perfect set of results for the Whites in the Premier League, yet their first top-flight victory since November was the clear highlight. And Rutter, who came on as a second-half substitute just moments before Firpo's goal, has hailed the Leeds supporters for creating a cauldron of noise at Elland Road.
