The Manchester United loanee sent a supportive message to the former Leeds United goalkeeper on Twitter.
Jamal Blackman has left Leeds United, Victor Orta confirmed.
Leeds’ Director of Football revealed on Friday that the Chelsea loanee had returned to his parent club after breaking his leg for the Whites’ Under-23s yesterday.
Here is how the 25-year-old reacted to the news on Twitter:
Blackman, who didn’t make a single Championship appearance for Leeds, was inundated with supportive messages from fans of the Elland Road.
But two of his fellow goalkeepers, Tim Krul and Manchester United-owned Dean Henderson, were also quick to offer their sympathies.
Will Huffer is now expected to compete with Bailey Peacock-Farrell as Leeds’ number one, but the Northern Irishman will take some shifting.
Peacock-Farrell might be enduring some difficult form at the moment, but Huffer is only 20 years of age and is simply nowhere near as experienced as his rival.
In fact, the 20-year-old hasn’t even made his debut for the Whites as of yet, so throwing him into the first XI of a promotion-challenging team would be a huge risk by Marcelo Bielsa and one that he probably won’t take.
