'Red flags' - Leeds United fans concerned after reports claim Jean-Kevin Augustin injury setback

Leeds United fans have taken to social media to voice their concern after reports that Jean-Kevin Augustin has suffered another injury setback.

The French striker arrived on loan from RB Leipzig in January but is yet to start a Championship match for the Whites.

Augustin has made just three substitute appearances for Leeds, with the last of those coming away at Bristol City on February 15.

The 22-year-old was not named in the Marcelo Bielsa's last three squads prior to the COVID-19 pandemic bringing a halt to football, due to injury.

Augustin has been active on social media during lockdown, showcasing his recovery programme to Leeds United fans but their hopes of seeing him in action at Cardiff City have been dealt a blow.

The Athletic report that Augustin has suffered a setback after picking up reoccurrence of the hamstring strain that kept him out of action from February.

Leeds United are yet to confirm the reports or issue a statement on the severity of Augustin's injury but it's bad news for Bielsa, whose side are back in action in just 11 days when they take on Cardiff on June 21.

Here's a round-up from social media on how Leeds have reacted to the news.

Should Augustin miss the trip to the Cardiff City Stadium, Leeds have Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts to call upon, with both players scoring in the previous two games before the season was called to a halt.
