Rodrigo sends rallying cry to Leeds United supporters ahead of potentially decisive week

Rodrigo has called for unity from Leeds United supporters in the wake of their 6-1 defeat against Liverpool at Elland Road on Sunday. Leeds have had nine goals wiped off their goal difference over the past two games, after their disastrous showing against Liverpool was preceded by a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.

The Whites remain two points clear of the relegation zone, but their recent back-to-back thrashings will serve as a devastating phycological blow.

Rodrigo, who was named captain on his first Premier League start since January, has sent a message to supporters on his Instagram account.

The Spaniard posted an image of the Leeds United crest, with the caption: "Good and bad moments. MOT until the end."

Leeds supporters will be demanding a response to their recent slump when they travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Saturday lunchtime.

The Whites then face back-to-back relegation six-pointers against Leicester City and Bournemouth respectively. Rodrigo will be in the frame to start in Saturday's visit to the capital, after Patrick Bamford sat out the game against Liverpool with a calf injury.

Despite his recent injury woes, Rodrigo is still the club's leading goal scorer this season with 11 in the Premier League and 13 across all competitions.
