Brown has yet to play for Leeds United’s first team.
Some Leeds United fans have expressed fear for Izzy Brown’s Elland Road career after the on-loan Chelsea forward limped out of Monday’s Under-23 team fixture against Barnsley.
Brown has yet to appear for Leeds’ senior side due to a knee injury suffered while on loan to Brighton and Hove Albion last season, but has recently been stepping up his fitness in Carlos Corberan’s squad.
And his withdrawal in the first half of the Whites’ 2-0 defeat sparked fresh concern among the Yorkshire club’s fanbase, even after both the player and Corberan suggested that his latest problem is nothing serious.
This is what they’re saying on Twitter…
Leeds, who confirmed the departure of Samu Saiz – a player Brown has been tipped to replace – on Monday, top the Championship despite the injuries to the Chelsea youngster and several others this season, and hold a six-point lead over third-place West Bromwich Albion.
Patrick Bamford, Tyler Roberts and Bryce Hosannah also played some part against Barnsley, after recent lay-off of their own.
Goals in either half from Amir Berkovits and Romal Palmer were enough to seal the win for Leeds’ visitors from South Yorkshire.
