Image shows Leeds United players gather for celebration 24 hours after 1-0 defeat v Leicester City
Leeds United players have been spotted celebrating Rodrigo’s 31st birthday today despite losing 1-0 away at Leicester City on Saturday.
Stuart Dallas shared an image of himself and his teammates on Instagram. It seemingly shows them at a meal while Rodrigo is in the middle with a birthday cake and the number 31 on it.
Leeds United Snaps shared the image on their Twitter account on 6 March.
Great to see
Despite the poor form this season and despite the shock change of manager in the last week, it looks as though the Leeds United squad is still a closely-knit unit.
It looks as though every single senior player is involved in celebrating Rodrigo’s birthday with him – even Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper.
Patrick Bamford returned to the matchday squad at Leicester on Saturday but Phillips and Cooper were still absent.
It’s good to see them pair again while Tyler Roberts, who looked as though he suffered an injury at Leicester, was also there to celebrate Rodrigo’s birthday.
It’s great that the Leeds players are still able to keep their morale high despite the terrible form right now.
Jesse Marsch’s arrival to replace Marcelo Bielsa will have no doubt been a stressful turn of events for the players but they still seem to be keeping their heads high ahead of some massive matches.
Leeds play Aston Villa, Norwich, Wolves, Southampton and Watford in their next five games and we’d really expect Marsch to be able to pull his team away from the bottom-three in them.
In other Leeds United news, Marsch was visibly irritated by one Leeds player in the defeat to Leicester.
