Some Leeds United fans on Twitter believe that Lewis Bate will be in the first-team squad tomorrow after not playing against Manchester United today.
What’s the story?
The Leeds Under-23 side took on their Manchester United counterparts at Leigh Sports Village today.
Leeds lost 3-2.
The young Whites came from a goal down twice, but they eventually lost.
One player who did not feature for Leeds was Bate.
The 19-year-old midfielder was not part of the Under-23 squad.
What are Leeds United fans saying?
As you can see from the tweets below, Leeds fans think that Bate will be part of the first-team squad against Leicester City tomorrow.
Well, some of them anyway.
Leeds will take on Leicester at Elland Road in the Premier League tomorrow.
Bate joined Leeds from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
According to Goal, the West Yorkshire club paid the Blues £1.5 million in transfer fee for the youngster.
The England Under-20 international midfielder has yet to make his debut for the Leeds first team.
It is unlikely that Bate will start against Leicester, but head coach Marcelo Bielsa could well include him among the substitutes.
