Robbie Rogers lasted just 12 mins in his first start for Leeds. Local radio saying that's his season over. Not confirmed though. Poor guy.

Even before this apparent injury, Rogers’ time in the English Championship has been a bumpy one. Rogers clashed heads with an opponent in his debut and was forced to miss several weeks of competition. He recently returned, though, and was playing in Leeds’ third straight match.
Rogers had played less than 20 minutes in each of his first three appearances, meaning Saturday’s start was the first time he would really have a chance to showcase himself. It’s unclear where this would leave Rogers’ status with Leeds.
