Leeds United fans on Twitter have been reacting to the news that Pablo Hernandez will be out of action for around a month after he picked up an injury against Fulham on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Graham Smyth was the bearer of the bad news as he confirmed on Twitter that the Spaniard will miss one of the most important runs of the season as Leeds gear up to take on the gruelling festive period.

Indeed, Leeds have to play five games in 17 days and three of those are against teams that currently sit in the top five of the Championship.
Understandably, losing a two-time Player of the Year winner for such a crucial period of the campaign is devastating, and United supporters have made their feelings on the matter very clear.
Of course, any injury leads to more questions than answers and supporters have been wondering how the 34-year-old will be replaced in the United starting XI.
A subsection of the fanbase want to see a youngster step up to the plate to take the Spaniard’s spot, and one supporter even offered Mateusz Bogusz as a potential solution to this conundrum.
Others would rather see the team dip into the transfer market than calling upon an inexperienced youngster.
Meanwhile, it seems as though Leeds have already found Jack Clarke’s successor.
