3 changes, Gnonto, Sinisterra and Piroe all start – Confirmed Leeds United XI v Ipswich Town
Daniel Farke has made 3 changes to his Leeds United starting lineup for the Championship clash with Ipswich this afternoon.
Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra are recalled to the starting lineup in place of Daniel James and Jamie Shackleton, while brand new signing Joel Piroe makes his debut in place of Joe Gelhardt.
Crysencio Summerville returns to the substitutes bench as does Leo Hjelde following injuries as the Whites head to Portman Road to take on the Championship leaders.
Line drawn
Leeds fans have every right to be annoyed at the way in which Luis Sinisterra and Wilfried Gnonto went about trying to leave the club, and they shouldn’t expect to be welcomed back with open arms immediately.
However, Farke has clearly drawn a line in the sand under the issue and wants to move forward now with both players as part of his squad for the foreseeable future.
Their inclusion in the squad for this game tells you that they are ready to take part, and the inclusion of Joel Piroe too after his move from Swansea shows just how desperate the boss was for a new striker.
Thisis a chance for the season to really get started now and beating the current league leaders will send a message to the rest of the division that we’re up and running.
Now the fans need to get behind the team, regardless of the fact they may not like a few members of the squad right now, and lets start moving up towards the Premier League again.
