Leeds youngster needs to continue his pre-season progress.
Leeds United youngster Mateusz Bogusz was the star of the club’s pre-season tour of Australia.
But is he in line to start their first game of the season? Not yet.
Bogusz, 17, still has to step up in the remaining pre-season matches and state his case.
The young Pole has made impressive strides since his January move from Ruch Chorzow.
At minimum against Bristol City on opening weekend, Bogusz has done enough for a place on the bench.
A first start could come after that against Salford City in the EFL Cup.
Its not too late for Bogusz to go even better. He is competing against the likes of Jack Clarke, Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison for a starting role.
For the first time in years, Leeds are blessed with options on the wing.
Leeds have further pre-season fixtures, notably against Cagliari, and a behind closed doors friendly with Girona.
If Bogusz continues to shine and even score in one or both of these, it will be difficult to slow down his progress.
He has a chance to force Bielsa’s hand to pick him on opening day.
