Leeds United defender Robin Koch has suggested on Instagram that he could be back in action against Arsenal at Elland Road this weekend.

Koch has posted the following message and photo on Instagram on the eve of the Premier League game between Leeds and Arsenal.

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa told the club’s official website that central defender Koch is available for the match against Arsenal.

The Germany international has not played for Leeds since the opening game of the season against Manchester United.

Koch has a pelvic issue and then had illness.

And now he is back.

Encouraging

Koch’s post and message on Instagram suggests that he is excited at the prospect of returning to action for Leeds.

The 25-year-old, who can also operate as a defensive midfielder, is a very good player who would make Leeds better and stronger at the back.

Liam Cooper is injured at the moment, and so is Kalvin Phillips.

So, in our opinion, Koch being back for the match against Arsenal is a huge boost to Leeds.

The 25-year-old’s ability to play in central defence or in midfield is going to a massive positive for the Whites.
