Rodon and Stach are key men for Leeds. Replacing them would be an ordeal

Reaching their first FA Cup semi-final in 39 years was a stressful experience for Leeds United supporters. As the 9,000 visitors meandered away from the London Stadium on Sunday, arms over shoulders, singing of Wembley, there was as much relief as excitement in the air.They had been tortured. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 75th-minute penalty was supposed to have been the clincher. Leeds had seen out the 90 minutes of normal time with a two-goal margin. The collapse in stoppage time, then West Ham United’s disallowed goals in extra time and Joel Piroe’s saved opening penalty in the shootout, had just about snuffed out any remaining hope.Advertisement
