Leeds United loanee Izzy Brown has seemingly taken another step towards making his Elland Road debut.

Several Leeds fans have implored Marcelo Bielsa to consider including Izzy Brown on the bench for the Whites’ clash with Norwich City this weekend after the forward scored the winning goal for the under-23s on Monday.

Brown is still awaiting his senior debut for the Whites, having been injured for much of his spell and only returning to action with Carlos Corberan’s men in the last couple of months.

In comments reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Marcelo Bielsa recently suggested that he needed six appearances for the under-23s before he is ready to contribute for the Championship leaders.

But some supporters are now urging Bielsa to consider bringing Brown into the fold ahead of the schedule as he scored another goal on Monday as Leeds beat Sheffield United’s youngsters 1-0 at Thorp Arch.

It was perhaps not the 22-year-old’s best performance for the under-23s, but it is surely an encouraging sign that he has got another 90 minutes under his belt. And that, in many fans’ eyes, should be enough for Brown to be handed a spot on the bench at Elland Road when Norwich visit.

Leeds got the victory at Rotherham on Saturday, but certainly did not ask enough questions going forward considering how much of the ball they had in the first-half in particular. And some believe that Brown could be the wildcard that the Whites need ahead of one of the most important games of the season.
