Derby County are currently on a collision course with Leeds United in the Championship play-off finals.

This shines a spotlight on winger Florian Jozefzoon, who rejected Leeds to sign for Derby last summer, angering Whites owner Andrea Radrizzani [Derby Telegraph].

Jozefzoon though has not had a successful season.

And last night it went from bad to worse.

He failed to even make the matchday 18, for Derby’s clash with Swansea.

The Derby Telegraph report Jozefzoon was axed in favour of 18-year-old Max Bird.

It follows a disappointing trajectory for the winger.

He played only seven minutes in Derby’s previous match and has only completed 90 minutes once in 2019.

His last goal or assist came back in December.

A play-off tie with Leeds over two legs would be ideal for Jozefzoon to prove his decision right, but the way it is going, he is not going to get much of a chance.
