Paul Heckingbottom has revealed to a press conference via Leeds Live that he could give Leeds United youngster Ryan Edmondson a Championship debut on Sunday.

QPR visit Leeds in the last Championship game of the season.

Heckingbottom’s side have had very little to play for in recent months and therefore could use the end-of-season clash to experiment with young players.

Edmondson, 16, is one of the most exciting youngsters coming through at the moment and the United boss gave him the chance to experience a senior away day by bringing him to Norwich City last weekend, though he was not named in the matchday squad.

Nevertheless, Edmondson, who has a hat-trick under his belt at Under-18 level this season after joining the West Yorkshire side in January, has since trained with the first team since.

And Heckingbottom, speaking to a press conference via Leeds Live, admitted that he could give him his senior bow.

“We may do, we may do,” he said when asked if Edmondson could face QPR.

“He’s not trained with us today but when he has trained with us, as he did at beginning of the week as well, he’s done well.”
