Leeds United's forwards department seems to be somewhat cursed. Why is it always that once one comes back fully fit from injury, another goes down needing surgery?
Either way, this is simply the hand the Whites have been dealt this season. First, it was Patrick Bamford who has missed eight matches after multiple repeat injuries - be it hernia operations, shoulder issues or groin surgeries.
Other, much younger, players like Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto have proved useful in securing vital points at key moments this season in Bamford's absence. But during his time off the field, one man was arguably putting the club on his back with his consistently solid performances in front of goal - Rodrigo.
