With good news coming from Leeds United’s Under 23 matches over the weekend against Notts County (Friday) and Bolton (Monday) when it came to growing minutes for injured duo Gaetano Berardi and Stuart Dallas, there was massive concern for fans when it came to on Loan Chelsea man Izzy Brown.
The 22-year-old is yet to debut following his arrival in August as he continues to build his fitness and sharpness following his own long spell on the sidelines, and as the first half of the game drew to a close he was visibly limping after a clash.

However, having been withdrawn at the half time break, he did seem to run it off in the remainder of the half and the expectation is he was only going to get 45 minutes anyway – potentially with an eye to our next match under manager Marcelo Bielsa.
With confirmation of the injury to Kemar Roofe coming in, this was the last thing fans wanted to hear, but as said, it does seem that Brown is fine and there shouldn’t be reason for concern here.
Get him off and ready for first team action on sat

Do these players have proper shin pads? The soft boots they wear have already caused a rise in metatarsal injuries. They need to stop thinking 'fashion' and start thinking 'protection.'
