Leeds United dealt further blows as Roofe, Hernandez and Berardi ruled out days after Patrick Bamford’s knee injury
Marcelo Bielsa will be without four of his players, three of whom are forwards, for Saturday's clash at Millwall
Leeds have been dealt a string of further injury blows following the news Patrick Bamford will be out of action until the new year.
Earlier this week it was confirmed Bamford, the forward, will miss around four months of football due to knee ligament damage, and manager Marcelo Bielsa has now revealed further woes.
Kemar Roofe, Pablo Hernandez and Gaetano Berardi are all to miss this weekend's clash at Millwall, meaning Leeds are without their big-money signing (Bamford), their top scorer (Roofe) and their joint-second top scorer (Hernandez).
Berardi is also a big loss, having played every minute of Leeds' league season so far at the heart of their defence.
Speaking in his press conference, Bielsa said: "He [Roofe] received a kick that does not allow him to play.

"So we have four players missing, three of them are offensive players and I have to take this into account.
"But we have solutions to face these problems. I have to contend with that on Saturday. We've designed the group so that we can solve these kind of problems."
Hernandez, who has three goals and two assists this season, is expected to be out of action for up to five weeks, while Berardi could be back before the end of the month.
