Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday night to face Chelsea in the Premier League – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter have stated in the build-up they want to see Rodrigo recalled to the starting XI.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side returning to winning ways in their last match with an impressive 1-0 victory away to Everton, but are now preparing for an even tougher test on paper against an in-form Chelsea team that many consider to be genuine title contenders.
