Leeds United have been preparing for their Premier League meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion at Elland Road.
Javi Gracia’s Whites won their last home match, a 1-0 triumph over Southampton on 25 February.
However, Leeds will also be hoping to bounce back from two consecutive losses in all competitions.
The Elland Road outfit will be taking on a Seagulls side enjoying a bright season and pushing for Europe.
On Friday afternoon, the Leeds media team shared footage of their latest training session on YouTube.
And Connor Ferguson could be spotted alongside the first-teamers at Thorp Arch.
The 19-year-old can be seen in a passing drill 17 seconds into the video.
Fairly clear pathway at present
Ferguson is one of the brightest talents in the Leeds academy ranks.
The left-back has recently broken into the Under-21s starting line-up, playing the full 90 minutes in their last five.
Ferguson has enjoyed a fruitful 2023, also penning his first professional contract at Leeds in January.
At present, the Whites are a bit strapped for choice at left-back.
Junior Firpo is first-choice, while Pascal Struijk has done well when covering there.
However, the Dutchman is a central defender by trade, and might not see himself playing at left-back permanently.
With that in mind, Ferguson will certainly fancy his chances of breaking into the squad in the coming months.
Obviously Leeds could well look to make a new signing at left-back in the summer.
But until then, Gracia seems to be giving Ferguson the chance to give him some food for thought.
