Leeds United Top Scorer Kemar Roofe Targets Return to Action for Championship Final Stretch

Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe has targeted a return to action for the last 'six or seven games' of the season after being sidelined with knee ligament damage suffered in his side's 2-1 victory at Swansea City.

The top scorer for the Whites this season with 14 goals, the former Oxford United star has played an instrumental role in ensuring that the club are pushing for promotion to the Premier League this season under Argentinian manager Marcelo Bielsa.

In Roofe's absence over the next two months, Leeds will face tough fixtures against challengers West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United and will also have to travel to the likes of in-form Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers in what could be a season-defining period for the club.
