Leeds United fans ask Tyler Roberts question as Marcelo Bielsa names unchanged Tottenham XI

Leeds United fans have questioned whether Tyler Roberts's absence from the matchday squad to face Tottenham Hotspur means the forward may be set for a Januay move.

Marcelo Bielsa has named an unchanged XI to the side that beat West Brom 5-0 in midweek.

Much of the pre-match chatter surrounded the fitness of Mateusz Klich but the Pole is fit to start in midfield despite picking up a thigh injury at the Hawthorns.

One major discussions point amongst Leeds fans, though, is the absence of Roberts on the Leeds bench.

The Welshman and Lief Davies are both out of the matchday squad, replaced by academy youngsters Charlie Cresswell and Nial Huggins.

Roberts has made eight Premier League appearances for Leeds this season, with only two of those being starts, fuelling talk of a potential January exit.

After only 22 minutes of football for Leeds since the start of November, Leeds fans think that Roberts could be set to leave this month.

Leeds' up-turn in form comes at a welcome point in the season following a run of three wins in four matches.

Back-to-back clean sheets have helped ease the Whites' defence fragility, with Luke Ayling and Pascal Struijk forming an unlikely partnership at centre-back, with Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Diego Llorente all out injured.
