The Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday pair are on loan from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
The on-loan Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Josh Onomah has tweeted his Leeds United counterpart Izzy Brown, after the Chelsea owned player made his long awaited comeback on Friday. Brown – an England Under-21 colleague of Onomah, who is borrowed by Wednesday from Tottenham Hotspur – has last appeared in January 2018 for Brighton and Hove Albion.
But the 21-year-old played the first 45 minutes of Leeds’ U23s’ defeat against Birmingham City earlier this afternoon.
He tweeted afterwards: “10 months out, first 45 mins back out there! It’s never felt so good to be on a pitch. Thank you so much for all the positive energy in such a difficult time, it’s appreciated! #lufc #mot“
And Onomah replied:
Both Brown and Onomah left their parent clubs in the summer transfer window, with the Chelsea and Tottenham pair each signing season-long deals at Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.
The former has been tipped for a New Year return by the Leeds manager, Marcelo Bielsa, while the latter could be facing his own spell on the sidelines.
The Tottenham academy product withdrew from England duty earlier this week and was not pictured at Sheffield Wednesday’s training session on Thursday.
Will the Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur players prove good additions for respective loan clubs Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday?
