Leeds United are gearing up for a rigourous pre-season campaign under Marcelo Bielsa.
Premier League teams are due to begin preparations for next term on Monday.
And quite a lot of the Leeds players were spotted at Headingly today, undergoing pre-season health checks at the Carnegie School of Sport.
Among the players was Ian Poveda.
The 21-year-old winger has started only three games under Bielsa since joining the Elland Road club 18 months ago.
But a number of glittering cameo displays in the Premier League last term have prompted suggestions that he’s still got a very bright future under the Argentine coach.
Here’s how some Leeds fans reacted to seeing him in the pictures today:
Most of Poveda’s minutes last season came in the Premier League 2 but it’ll be interesting to see if Bielsa begins using him more next time around.
This is certainly an extremely talented player and one who doesn’t seem fazed by top-flight opposition.
His speed and trickery makes him a nightmare for some full-backs and if he comes through what’ll be an arduous next few weeks under Bielsa, it could stand him in good stead.
