Tyler Roberts and Leif Davis return for Leeds Under-23s
Leeds got a double fitness boost ahead of the Under-23s game against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Leif Davis was stretchered off in the last Under-23s game but he was named in the starting line-up today.
The other notable name was Tyler Roberts, who hasn’t played for Leeds this season.
He was named on the bench and came on at half-time. Marcelo Bielsa likes to bring injured players back in through the Under-23s and this marks the start of his return.
However, the Championship game against Barnsley will likely come too soon for the attacker. We can see him starting for the Under-23 before he makes his return for the senior side, but it’s great to see him back in action.
It means that Luke Ayling is now officially the only injured player for Leeds and if he was to return with no further casualties for the club, it could mark the first time Bielsa has had a full squad to pick from since he arrived at Leeds. Incredible but true.
