Huddersfield Town appear to be playing hardball as Leeds United look to sign Lewis O’Brien this month.
The midfielder has missed the first two matches of the Championship season after testing positive for COVID-19.

Carlos Corberan has been speaking to the media on Monday afternoon ahead of his clash with Preston and has shared the latest.

“On Huddersfield Town presser pre-Preston,” he wrote.
“Lewis O’Brien back in the squad but Pipa unlikely to be involved.”
