Grot appeared for Leeds United’s first team last week.
Jay-Roy Grot drops down to Leeds United’s Under-23 for Friday’s Thorp Arch encounter with Nottingham Forest.
The £1.4 million summer signing came on for the final four minutes of the Whites 4-1 Championship defeat at home to Cardiff City last weekend.
However, he now looks unlikely to be involved when Leeds travel to Sheffield United on Saturday, after being named in Carlos Corberan’s starting 11 for the u23s.
Grot is one of two changes made from the draw at home to Birmingham City last Friday, with goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell also returning.
Peacock-Farrell, who is said to have trialled with Swedish side Landskrona last month, takes the place of recent signing Kamil Miazek, with Grot’s inclusion seeing Romario Vieira relegated to the bench.
Left-back Tyler Denton is the one other omission from last week’s 16-man squad.
Just as there were seven days ago, there are nine British or Irish players involved for Leeds, whose academy’s approach was publicly questioned by former player Ian Harte.
