Leeds fans react as Tyler Roberts earns Wales call.

From a team building point of view, it makes a lot of sense that Wales boss Ryan Giggs wants to take a close look at promising striker Tyler Roberts.

Roberts was yesterday called into the Wales international squad for the first time, ahead of their upcoming friendly matches.

From a Leeds perspective, it seems a little premature.

Roberts is third choice striker at present and has failed to seize his chance in two Carabao Cup games.

He has even been playing with the under-23 side to keep up his match fitness.

Roberts though did get a lot of support from other fans who believe this could be the confidence booster he needs after a slow start to the campaign.
