Leeds United are sweating over Pablo Hernandez’s fitness ahead of tonight’s trip to Preston North End.
Hernandez picked up an ankle injury in last weekend’s 1-0 loss against Birmingham City and was pictured with a protective boot after the game.
Leeds fans seemed resigned to the fact that the Spaniard would miss the midweek trip to Deepdale to take on Preston.
But there is a chance he will be fit to play a part against Preston, according to The Yorkshire Post.
Given the 33-year-old’s tally of 12 goals and 11 assists, Leeds will obviously be very keen to have their midfield playmaker available.

And while he is unlikely to start, Hernandez could play a part off the bench, which could be necessary if Leeds are chasing the game.
Leeds fans took to social media to share their opinions on this latest injury update and the news is teasing them.
The opinion was split with some fans desperate for him to play, some pessimistic about his chances and others wanting to rest him.
Here are some of the best tweets from Leeds fans discussing Hernandez’s injury latest.
