Izzy Brown will want to prove a point to Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa after the international break.
The two-week international break will take an age for Leeds United fans, many of whom want their promotion bid to resume as soon as possible.
But it’ll take even longer for a certain Izzy Brown.
The former Leeds loanee is, as the kids say, doing bits at Luton Town this season following his dreadful stint at Elland Road last time around.
Brown is an ever-present figure on the Hatters’ return to the Championship and has racked up five assists so far – only three players in the whole division have more.
The 22-year-old managed only 11 minutes of league action under Marcelo Bielsa last term. Much of that was because of injury but, even when Brown was fit, the Argentine boss seldom played him.
It just so happens that Leeds’ first game after the international break is a trip to Luton, and Brown must be champing at the bit.
He is clearly a much better player than he showed during his time in West Yorkshire and he might feel determined to prove a point.
Yes, he had a lengthy problem with injury during his loan from Chelsea, but he was on the bench virtually every week from February to May and yet still only managed 11 minutes.
That will have no doubt frustrated him and surely he’ll want to send a message to Bielsa in a couple weeks.
