Romario Vieira has been included in the Leeds United Under-23 starting lineup for this afternoon’s match against their Nottingham Forest counterparts away from home at the City Ground.

Vieira has been on the books of Leeds since September 2016, as reported by The Sun, and is the twin brother of Ronaldo Vieira.

Just like his twin brother Ronaldo, Romario also operates as a midfielder and is 19 years of age.

Romario is part of the Development Squad at the moment, but he will certainly be looking to make the step up to the first team like his brother.

Ronaldo has established himself as an important player in Thomas Christiansen’s side, having played quite regularly for the Whites in the Championship last season as well when Garry Monk – now at Championship rivals Middlesbrough – was in charge of the first team.

Ousama Siddiki, who joined Leeds in the summer of 2017 after leaving Spanish giants Real Madrid, is also part of the Leeds Under-23 team this afternoon.

The 19-year-old striker is a very promising young player and is hugely talented.

The Forest Under-23 side are also quite strong, as Gary Brazil’s team will be looking to win yet again this afternoon.

The Reds got the better of East Midlands rivals Derby County 2-1 at the Pride Park Stadium in Premier League Cup on Monday.
