Raphinha sends Instagram message ahead of Leeds v Arsenal
Leeds United will be sweating on the fitness of Raphinha ahead of their Carabao Cup clash against Arsenal on Tuesday evening.
The Brazilian was forced off injured at Elland Road in the 1-1 draw against Wolves after being wildly caught on the ankle by Romain Saiss.
Raphinha has now delivered a cryptic message on social media after letting fans know he won’t be missing for too long.
Writing on his personal Instagram account this afternoon, the superstar sent the message which looked to be directed somewhere.
“While some try to be better than others,” he wrote. “I’m still firm being myself without stepping on anyone
Aimed?
Raphinha has not been happy this week, and we all understand why.
Saiss’ tackle on him went unpunished, and the free-kick and booking was only given because he was deemed to handle the ball.
Most officials since have come out and insisted that Saiss should have seen red and that has led to many messages.
First of all, Raphinha came out and sarcastically shared that he thought the best officials were meant to be in the Premier League.
If he was to be ruled out for quite some time, it would be an injustice – especially given that Saiss if fine to continue playing with no punishment now.
Hopefully, the only game that our star will have to miss is the Arsenal clash, but more of a caution rather than being forced out.
