A few Leeds United fans have been reacting on social media after the club posted a short clip of Kiko Casilla in training.
The Spaniard has been a mainstay of Marcelo Bielsa’s plans thus far this season, with Casilla starting between the sticks in each of our Championship fixtures to date as well as both of our Carabao Cup encounters in August.
No goalkeeper in the second-tier has kept anywhere near as many clean sheets as the £2.7million-rated brick wall, either, with Casilla denying eight teams the chance to score – three more than Brentford FC’s David Raya and Swansea City’s Freddie Woodman.
But neither Casilla nor the club are resting on their laurels, it would seem, as the 33-year-old has been getting put through his paces at Thorp Arch ahead of Saturday’s trip to Luton Town.

Bielsa and his men travel to face Graeme Jones’ squad on Saturday looking to record our third-straight win in the Championship and extend our unbeaten run to six matches.
Three points at Luton could move us top of the second-tier standings, depending on results at West Bromwich Albion as the Baggies face Sheffield United and as Preston North End travel to face Derby County.
What will the result be at Luton?
Luton win
Draw
Leeds win
Here are some of the messages shared as fans reacted to the club’s update of Casilla getting to work in training…

Showing his class so far this season, looking very much like the top keeper we all thought we were getting

Has no one picked up on the method of keeping Kiko in his goal? Are the oranges ropes allowed on match days?

Does this hopefully mean he’ll be cleared of “that” incident?
