Leeds United loanee can’t get a game.

Leeds Uniteds Izzy Brown warms up during the Sky Bet Championship match between Middlesbrough and Leeds United at Riverside Stadium on February 9, 2019 in Middlesbrough, England.

Leeds United loanee Izzy Brown was overlooked again last night despite a comfortable night for his side.

Leeds beat Reading 3-0, and were three up by half-time.

It was the perfect scenario for Leeds to bring on Brown, who has made only one substitute appearance since signing on loan from Chelsea.

Manager Marcelo Bielsa decided to call on Stuart Dallas, Jamie Shackleton and Barry Douglas as subs, snubbing Brown.

Brown’s only appearance came a fortnight ago when Leeds were a goal down to QPR.

He did not help turn it around and looked off the pace.

However even forgiving this, and cutting him a bit of slack, last night would have been ideal to give him a run out in the second half.

Bielsa has shown he was not so keen, and prefers Jamie Shackleton as an attacking midfielder.

Leeds fans are wondering whether Bielsa has made the wrong call and wasted a chance to give Brown some action…
