And the knock was so painful Rodrigo was left in need of oxygen.

The forward was then treated with a Penthrox inhaler, which is used for pain relief, before leaving the field.

It marks a huge blow for Jesse Marsch with the forward in the form of his Leeds career.

Rodrigo has four goals in as many matches, thriving in a central role after coming in from the wing.

He went off with Leeds trailing following Anthony Gordon’s opener.

But Rodrigo would have celebrated from the sidelines as Luis Sinisterra’s leveller meant the points were shared.

Sinisterra told BBC Sport: “I have been working very hard for this moment.

“We worked for the three points but we couldn’t take it. It feels nice to score my first goal in the Premier League.

“I have to keep working as I am doing. It is amazing and I have to keep working to score many more.

“Everton played really good. They find the goal early so they drop and then wait for the counter.

“It was difficult for us to find the net. In the second half we could do it. I think we deserved a bit more, but we kept working.”
