Fresh injury concern for Marcelo Bielsa as Ian Poveda is helped off in Leeds United Under 23s game against Sunderland

Winger Ian Poveda, who came on as part of a double swap at half-time in the PL2 clash, lasted around 10 minutes before suffering what looked like a foot or ankle problem.

The 20-year-old, who joined from Manchester City last January, has been in all 20 of Bielsa's matchday squads in the Premier League this season and made 10 appearances as a substitute.

Today he was handed a sixth PL2 outing of the season at half-time, with Leeds a goal to the good, but had to be helped from the field after limping out of a challenge in the middle of the pitch.

Poveda's injury left Leeds with just 10 men for the remainder of the game but the Whites went on to take a 2-0 lead shortly after, Niall Huggins firing in to add to Tyler Roberts' first half penalty. Roberts was replaced after half an hour in a planned substitution.

Leeds take on Everton in the Premier League at Elland Road on Wednesday and already have Rodrigo (groin) as a doubt. The Spanish international was having a scan on the injury today to discover the extent of the damage sustained in Sunday's win at Leicester City.

Both Raphinha and Patrick Bamford picked up knocks at the King Power Stadium but Bielsa considered their problems less worrying than Rodrigo's.
