Leeds United's Raphinha plays down injury concerns

Leeds United winger Raphinha has taken to social media to reveal that his injury sustained in Saturday's Premier League draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers is "nothing serious".

The 24-year-old limped off in the 54th minute following a strong sliding tackle from Wolves defender Romain Saiss, who received a yellow card as a result.

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa was unable to provide any information regarding the full extent of Raphinha's injury during his post-match press conference, however the Brazilian has since taken to Instagram to inform fans of his condition.

"Hello guys, just coming to say I'm fine. It was nothing serious, so I'm back soon. Thank you for the messages and concern," Raphinha said.

Wolves took the lead at Elland Road in the 10th minute when Hwang Hee-chan poked the ball past goalkeeper Illan Meslier from close range, to score his fourth goal of the campaign.

The visitors were seemingly holding on for all three points, however Leeds substitute Joe Gelhardt was brought down by Nelson Semedo inside the penalty area, with Rodrigo converting the resulting spot kick in the 94th minute to snatch a 1-1 draw.
