da pinnacle： As Liam Cooper limped off for Leeds on Tuesday evening, you’d imagine many at the club would be fearing the worst.
da jogodeouro： The defender has recently signed a new deal and was named in the PFA Team of the Year last season. He’s the club captain and someone that’s missed just one game all term but he’ll now sit out for up to six weeks.
His influence is huge but he had to be withdrawn for Gaetano Berardi, someone who has a troubling past.
The defender has claimed six red cards throughout his stay in west Yorkshire but after coming off the bench this week, proved a more reliable figure than he has done in the past.
Leeds fans were quick to throw support in his direction as they were left buzzing with the 31-year-old’s display.
One claimed he didn’t put a foot wrong when he was on the field while a further individual suggested he was faultless.
Another supporter said he was solid, explaining that there were no dramas to his play.
Berardi was appearing in the Championship for just a fourth time this term. He’s only featured from the off once in the league but that could be about to change if Cooper is sidelined.
Here’s some of the reaction.
