FPL fans take note: Marcelo Bielsa provides Raphinha update ahead of Norwich
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has provided an update on the potential involvement of Raphinha vs Norwich this weekend.
Leeds downed by Arsenal
Leeds United faced a trip to north London on Tuesday where they would take on Arsenal in a League Cup tie.
Arsenal have been in much better form than The Whites of late, but after Mikel Arteta opted to make nine changes from his starting eleven that beat Aston Villa last week, Leeds fans were likely more hopeful of getting a result on Tuesday, especially with captain Kalvin Phillips also back in their side as well.
However, despite keeping Arsenal at bay for 45 minutes, Leeds eventually succumbed to a 2-0 loss thanks to strikers from Calum Chambers and Eddie Nketiah:

Given his importance to their side, both Leeds and Fantasy Premier League fans are no doubt hopeful of having Raphinha back for the Norwich game on Sunday.
And, as reported on Tuesday, Bielsa does not believe Raphinha’s injury will keep him out of Leeds’ next game:
