Some Leeds United fans on social networking site Twitter are confused why manger Marcelo Bielsa has not used Chelsea-owned goalkeeper Jamal Blackman so far in pre-season friendlies.

Championship side Leeds have signed Blackman on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The move was announced on the West Yorkshire outfit’s official website on July 16.

Since then, Leeds have played Forest Green Rovers, York City and Southend United in pre-season friendly matches.

The 24-year-old has not featured in any of those matches, including the one against Southend on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Oxford United away from home in another pre-season friendly.

It will be interesting to see if Leeds head coach Bielsa hands the 24-year-old his debut for the West Yorkshire outfit.

Some Leeds fans on Twitter are confused why Blackman has not featured for the Whites yet.
