Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United side were beaten 2-1 by Queens Park Rangers at the weekend.
Baker has struggled for form a Elland Road since arriving in the summer, and has slipped out of favour at Leeds.
The attacking midfielder has often been overlooked of late, with other options favoured.
But Baker was handed a rare start for Leeds against QPR, and his display seemed to intrigue Bielsa.
Leeds lost 2-1 to QPR in the FA Cup, after naming a very inexperienced line-up.
And Baker was one of the players to get a mention from Bielsa after the match.
The Argentine boss said: “The performance of Leif Davis as a centre-half was positive. Shackleton was balanced, good. Lewis Baker also had an interesting performance, even if he is not a starter. Jack Clarke had a good performance even if he did not make the difference he has recently.”
Whether Baker’s ‘interesting’ performance has pushed him closer to Leeds’ starting line-up remains to be seen.
Bielsa’s side are next in action on Friday evening, when they host Derby County at Elland Road.
