Brown is yet to make an appearance for Leeds since joining on loan from Chelsea.

Izzy Brown has posted an intriguing Tweet as he continues his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, a problem which has prevented him from making his Leeds United debut – and fans have responded on Twitter.

The 21-year-old attacker joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Chelsea, but is yet to feature for Marcelo Bielsa’s side due to the long-term knee problem.

The Whites signed versatile attacker Brown with the knowledge that he was injured, last taking to the field on loan with Brighton back in January in an FA Cup match against Crystal Palace.

Brown posted on Twitter on Friday morning ahead of Leeds’ Under-23 clash against Birmingham City in the Professional Development League, stating “today is a good day”.

Bielsa is known to give his senior players a run out in the reserve side, with the likes of Lewis Baker, Jamal Blackman, Samu Saiz, Jamie Shackleton, Tyler Roberts and many more featuring for the second string this season.

Brown’s Tweet could be a hint that he is about to make his eventual recovery from the injury by turning out for Carlos Corberan’s side on Friday afternoon, with the clash set to kick-off at 1pm.

That’s certainly what Leeds fans believe, with many speculating that he could be involved in Friday’s clash.
