After being passed over once more by Daniel Farke for the matchup with Bristol City, Leo Hjelde may have already played his last game for Leeds United.

Jamie Shackleton’s shoulder injury precludes him from playing, while Sam Byram’s availability after three games in a week raises selection concerns for the Whites at left-back going into the game.

In his news conference on Friday, Farke made a suggestion that he could have to play someone out of position or even change formations in order to solve his problems.

Given that he is healthy and available, that should have immediately raised concerns in the Hjelde camp. However, Farke’s choice today should imply that he has no future at Elland Road.

The young player was employed in preseason, appeared in the Carabao Cup, and even played for 46 minutes in the Championship, but is no longer even selected for matchday teams.The young player was employed in preseason, appeared in the Carabao Cup, and even played for 46 minutes in the Championship, but is no longer even selected for matchday teams.

He was desired by Andrea Radrizzani at Sampdoria in the summer, but a deal never happened. It appeared that this was maybe because the manager had other plans for him.

However, given that he will want to play more frequently to avoid having his growth stall, this move raises the possibility that the opposite is actually true, and a January departure should now be anticipated by all parties.However, given that he will want to play more frequently to avoid having his growth stall, this move raises the possibility that the opposite is actually true, and a January departure should now be anticipated by all parties.
