Rodrigo still faces late fitness test for Leeds United v Wolves – BBC
Leeds United forward Rodrigo is still facing a late fitness test ahead of the Premier League clash with Wolves this evening.
That’s according to the BBC, who shared the latest team news going into the showdown at Molineux with both sides winning last time out.
Jesse Marsch confirmed that the Spaniard came off against Norwich with a new muscle issue after shining at Elland Road.
The BBC has shared that Rodrigo will need to go through a fitness test, meaning his return to training means nothing so far.
Marsch may have had the attacker going through his paces separate from the main group, with no guarantee he will be available.
Rodrigo himself has posted on his Instagram account showing off some new boots from Thorp Arch, with his activity suggesting he should be good.
Fingers crossed.
If there was one man who stepped up on Sunday, it was certainly Rodrigo.
The Spaniard appears to have really relished this new role under Marsch, and the added responsibility of some more leadership.
That was clear when he celebrated his goal against Norwich, and his partnership alongside Patrick Bamford could be critical to causing issues against Wolves.
With a late fitness test to pass, we could see the striker start but only complete 45-60 minutes once again as we head into the international break.
Picking up points at a hard venue would be huge, especially going into this break as it would keep confidence flying high in West Yorkshire.
Fingers crossed for some good news going into tonight.
