Every Leeds United fixture that Rodrigo will miss after ankle surgery blow

There's no doubt that Leeds United will sorely miss Rodrigo after the Spaniard underwent surgery following bone and ligament damage to his ankle in their F.A Cup fourth round tie against Accrington Stanley.

The 31-year-old is the Whites' top goalscorer this season, having provided vital consistency at the top of the park while fellow frontman Patrick Bamford was out injured earlier in the campaign.

The news was announced on the club's website where they confirmed that he'll be out for at least two months, with the Thorp Arch medical team 'confident' he'll return by late March.

However, if he takes a little longer to heal than first thought, he could miss the games immediately after the international break, both of which could prove key in Leeds' relegation fight.
