Leeds boss Bielsa won't block Roberts leaving

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa says he won't stand in the way of any player who wants to leave.

Bielsa was asked about Tyler Roberts in his pre-Brighton press conference and he claimed he would not stand in the way of any of his players if they wanted to leave.

“Tyler is also someone who I have accompanied with, with his efforts to get into the team and whilst he continues to have that desire to fight for a place in the team then I will still want him to be here," said the Leeds boss.

“It is different when a player has the desire to leave.

"When a player has a desire to leave, there is no point in trying to keep him."
