Leeds United’s squad will reportedly be given a pay rise when Championship football starts up again.
Leeds United plays are delighted with Andrea Radrizzani’s decision to give them a pay-rise in the coming months, according to the Daily Mail.
Leeds’ players were one of the first to agree to pay cuts, as the impact of halting the season became clear.
No Championship football has taken place for over a month now, which has badly affected EFL side’s cash flows.

However, Radrizzani has agreed to pay Leeds’ players extra when football does restart.
The Leeds owner was under no obligation to make such an offer to his squad, but has done so as a ‘gesture of thanks’, according to the Mail.
And Leeds’ squad are said to be very appreciative of the gesture from Radrizzani.
When play does begin again, Leeds’ task will be to get over the line, as they chase promotion back to the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side currently lead the way in the Championship table, and are seven points clear of Fulham in third spot.
