Leeds United youngsters have at least earned the chance to train with the first team.
Irrespective of poor first team results, young strikers Sam Dalby and Ryan Edmondson have done enough to warrant a the chance to train with Leeds United’s senior squad.
Edmondson has been scoring for fun for Leeds’ under-18s since joining from York City in January, including multiple hat-tricks.
Dalby has come to the fore over the past month, making the lead striking role his own for the under-23s.
Now they have got their chance to try and impress first team boss Paul Heckingbottom.
Heckingbottom has striker options for the first team, but the problem is they are not convincing.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga is only on loan and has gone off the boil, while Caleb Ekuban has only scored one league goal all season, as has Jay-Roy Grot.
Leeds have little to play for other than pride, although Heckingbottom may need wins to keep his job intact for next season, giving one or both of the talented youngsters a shot before the end of the season may be his secret weapon.
