Charlie Cresswell, a center-back for Leeds United, has been sidelined thus far this season. However, he will not be participating in the under-21 match this week because of his first team duties against Leicester City.
Tomorrow night sees Leeds take on their toughest game of the season so far and perhaps the most challenging that the Championship has to offer in Leicester City away from home.
Fortunately for Daniel Farke, his Leeds team is doing quite well right now, with very few players sidelined.
The depth Leeds has in their roster this season has had the unintended consequence of depriving young players like Charlie Cresswell of the playing time necessary for their development.
Having played just one minute in the league since August, he has missed the last three games due to injury.
It doesn’t help that club captain Liam Cooper is still third choice in the starting lineup behind him, with Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk being the clear favorites.
The manager was quizzed on his views with Cresswell, given that the under-21s home fixture against Crystal Palace clashes with Leeds’ trip to the King Power Stadium tomorrow night.
It was asked whether the 21-year-old would be allowed to play for Michael Skubala’s side, or whether he’d be required at Leicester.
