Leeds United have been handed the frustrating news that striker Tyler Roberts will spend a spell on the sidelines after he picked up an ankle injury.

Just how bad is this news for Paul Heckingbottom's side?

We discuss....

Adam Simeoni

What horrible luck for Leeds! Roberts was supposed to be the messiah to come into the side and guide the club into the play-offs, but this injury looks to have put an end to that.

Disappointment for sure, things look bleak for the Yorkshire side.

Sam Preston

Lasogga’s form means it’s not an immediate disaster but it is another blow for the transfer system. Roberts was signed with an injury and has picked up another one.

When you look at how other Championship clubs have been able to bring in strikers to make an impact right away, this injury puts Leeds’ approach into sharp focus.

George Dagless

A blow out of the blue.

Roberts is yet to make his debut and it looks as though the wait will continue.

He was in line to make the squad this weekend but he's not going to now and Leeds will remain short up top for a little while longer yet.

Alfie Burns

Yet more frustrating news for Leeds, who don’t seem to be getting much luck with injuries.

Leeds needed a striker during the January transfer window and opted to move for Roberts, who is yet to feature for the Whites.

Paul Heckingbottom will be tearing his hair out at this update.
