Rodrigo will make his full Premier League debut for Leeds United this afternoon after Pablo Hernandez suffered an injury while warming up to face Fulham.
Leeds' club record signing Rodrigo was originally named on the bench, only to get the nod shortly before kick-off after Pablo Hernandez picked up a groin strain in the pre-match warm-ups.
Rodrigo came off the bench and Anfield in last weekend's 4-3 defeat to Liverpool and also played the full 90 minutes of Leeds' Carabao Cup exit to Hull midweek, but will now get the chance to start against the Cottagers.
Mateusz Bogusz replaces the Spaniard on the bench.
Marcelo Bielsa was able to welcome Liam Cooper back to his starting line-up after the Leeds skipper was forced to miss last weekend's Anfield defeat with a calf injury.
