Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa had suggested that Kamil Miazek would start.
Marcelo Bielsa may well have struck a hammer blow to Leeds United goalkeeper Kamil Miazek’s confidence, after he overlooked him at the weekend.
Bielsa suggested that Miazek was in line to start for Leeds against Bristol City on Saturday in the build up to the contest.
“Probably Kamil [Miazek] will play,” Bielsa said to Leeds Live.
However, seemingly at the last minute, Bielsa decided that Will Huffer was the man for the occasion.
Huffer kept a clean sheet, as Leeds won 2-0 against Bristol City, and Bielsa is sure to feel that he made the right decision.
However, Miazek’s confidence is likely to have been dented from being left on the sidelines.
The argument, of course, is that Miazek still has time on his side to make his Leeds debut.
But he is now 22, and both Huffer and Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who are younger than him, appear ahead of him in the selection order at Elland Road.
And, after seemingly being set for his debut, the first-team now looks a long way away again for Miazek at Leeds.
