da bet7: Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe will undergo a knee scan on Monday, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
What’s the situation?
Roofe played the full 90 minutes of Leeds’ 2-1 win over Swansea City in the Championship on Wednesday night.
However, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the attacker has undergone treatment on his knee since then, raising concerns that he could be carrying a potentially season-changing issue.
Roofe has played 26 Championship matches for the Whites this season, which is a clear indication of his importance.
The Whites are not back in action until next weekend when they host Bolton Wanderers, but then face Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion in quick succession.
The fact that the 26-year-old was mobile on Saturday and indeed finished the clash with Swansea last week suggests that the issue might be minor.
However, Leeds will be sweating on the fitness of the Englishman, who has 14 Championship goals to his name during the 2018-19 campaign.
How big a miss would Roofe be for Leeds?
The fact that Roofe is the team’s leading scorer this season counts for a lot, although there are some Leeds fans who have not been happy with his performances in recent weeks.
Indeed, a number of the club’s supporters have recently criticised the forward, who has netted just once in his last eight Championship appearances.

He is unquestionably Leeds’ most proven option in the final third though, and Patrick Bamford has had his own knee issues this season.
The simple fact of the matter is that Roofe is crucial to Marcelo Bielsa’s side, meaning that a potential long-term absence would be a huge blow at this stage of the season.
Leeds have 14 Championship matches left to play this term and currently occupy third spot in the table, two points behind leaders Norwich City.
