Leeds attacker has been out of favour. For how much long?
Leeds United recorded a hard fought win at the weekend to make it three victories in a row.
The Whites remain just one point off the top of the Championship table, and their recent victories have come without star attacker Samu Saiz playing a prominent role.
Saiz was an unused substitute at Bramall Lane, and has not started for Leeds since the October 27 game against Nottingham Forest.
He has made three appearances off the bench in that time, and has managed two assists.
Prior to being dropped, Saiz’s performances were flagging. He has no goals this season and his previous assist came back in mid-September.
He looked in need of a rest, and he has had one. The question is when Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa decides to bring him back in?
Bielsa may not want to change a winning team too much, but Saiz is an important player.
The Argentine manager has to balance his squad, and will need to rest Pablo Hernandez at some point.
Leeds next fixture is at home to QPR on Saturday.
After a further week of rest, it may be time to unleash Saiz.
Would you bring Saiz back in next weekend?
