A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter after Raphinha posted an injury update on Instagram following the Whites’ draw with Wolves on Saturday.

Leeds picked up an important point in their latest Premier League clash. Rodrigo scored a stoppage-time penalty to equalise against Bruno Lage’s men.

The result gave the impression that Marcelo Bielsa’s side may finally be ready to kickstart their season. But the game was not without a downside for the Whites.

Raphinha had to be taken off nine minutes into the second-half after being brought down by Romain Saiss. The winger was caught in the ankle by the sliding Wolves defender.

It was a challenge Martin Keown suggested should have led to a red card. Saiss was booked. And it was a foul that also forced Raphinha off the pitch.

The 24-year-old had to be helped from the field. And with that, Leeds fans must have feared the worst after already losing several key players to injury this season.

It remains to be seen how long Raphinha is actually sidelined for. But the Brazil international has issued a positive update on social media.

He took to Instagram to suggest that he was fine. He also claimed that he would be back soon.
