Impact Roca had started all but one match this season prior to injury, but the addition of Weston McKennie likely changes that role.

Impact Roca didn't have a whole lot to do going forward Saturday, though he did send in three crosses and create a chance. Roca has started all 12 Premier League matches since joining Leeds, offering some upside on both sides of the ball. Roca also took a corner, his sixth of the year.
