Leeds United ace makes quick return after Whites heartache but surprise omission leaves 3 absent
A Leeds United star quickly returns after play-off final heartache but a Whites trio are absent.
Leeds United star Dan James returns from play-off final heartache today but a surprise new omission has left a Whites trio absent.
James came off the bench for last month’s Championship play-off final in which he rattled the crossbar as Daniel Farke’s suffered a 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
The winger has since joined up with the Wales international squad and makes a quick return to a matchday squad for today’s friendly against Gibraltar for which he is on the bench alongside Leeds youngster Charlie Crew.
Crew, just 17, is in the Wales senior squad for the first time and could make his debut for the team in the 5pm kick-off at the Estadio Algarve.
Whites teammate Ethan Ampadu, though, is not involved and joins fellow Whites pair Joe Rodon and Connor Roberts in sitting the game out.
Last season’s Whites loanees Rodon and Roberts had already pulled out of the current Dragons squad but Ampadu is a surprise omission.
