Leeds United team news: Jaidon Anthony arrives at Millwall, Joel Piroe to start
Jaidon Anthony is with the Leeds United squad in south-east London to play against Millwal, according to Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Joe Donnohue.
Writing on Twitter on Sunday (17 September), Donnohue said that he spotted Anthony, 23, with the squad arriving at The Den ahead of kick-off at 12pm.
It is understood that Archie Gray, Jamie Shackleton, Ethan Ampadu, Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe are there too with Piroe doing pre-match media. Donnohue says this means the summer signing from Swansea will start.
In another tweet, Donnohue added that Ilia Gruev is also with the squad meaning he could also make his debut.
Impact sub?
It will be great to see Anthony get a chance to show Leeds fans what he can do in what is not a very happy hunting ground for the Whites.
Anthony joined Leeds on loan from Bournemouth on transfer deadline day with Luis Sinisterra heading the other way.
While we don’t expect the London-born winger to be as technically gifted as Sinisterra, we are looking forward to showing what he can do in the Championship with the Yorkshire giants.
Anthony has played four times this season, with all of those performances coming for Bournemouth.
He was named in starting line-ups against West Ham and Liverpool while he also played a key role in a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over Swansea, assisting one of his side’s goals.
Anthony’s Championship record is pretty good with eight goals and seven assists in 50 appearances.
Considering most of those appearances came as a young, up-and-coming attacker, that’s impressive.
