Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich’s frustrations continue.
Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich was left out of the squad once again as the Whites beat QPR.
The Pole was Thomas Christiansen’s first summer signing, but has only made one Championship start.
As the transfer window nears, Klich’s future at the club looks bleak, with the Yorkshire Evening Post reporting he has been linked with a move back to the Eredivisie on loan.
And while yesterday’s win at Loftus Road was another negative moment for the frustrated midfielder, there was also a moment of hope too.
Pawel Cibicki is a player who has been in the same position, and until Saturday, his Leeds career looked equally bleak. Signed on deadline day, he is yet to make a league start.
He was named on the bench, and after an injury to Caleb Ekuban, Cibicki was called on, and seized his chance.
Cibicki was one of Leeds’ liveliest players after he came on, and he set up Kemar Roofe for one of his three goals in the 3-1 win.
The Swede has now put himself firmly in the first team mix, and deserves to get more opportunities.
Leeds Live had suggested Cibicki could be sent out on loan, but this looks unlikely now. In an instance, everything has changed for him.
Klich must take inspiration that he can do the same, and Christiansen may even question whether to recall the Pole too after seeing Cibicki’s impact.
