Souleymane Doukara scored for Leeds United against Burton Albion at Elland Road in the Championship at the weekend.
Leeds United attacker Souleymane Doukara has revealed to BBC Radio Leeds the advice he has given by head coach Garry Monk.
Doukara, who can play as a striker or as a winger, has struggled for playing time for Leeds so far this season.
The 25-year-old featured for the Whites at the weekend, though, as he came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the Championship game against Burton Albion at Elland Road.
The former Catania man played his role in the West Yorkshire outfit’s 2-0 victory on Saturday afternoon, scoring the second goal of the match in the sixth minute of injury time.
Doukara has revealed what Leeds head coach Monk has told him regarding his status in the team.
“He talked to me, saying I can do something for the team so get back fit soon and you will have your chance to make the difference and you can play a big part for us. That’s it,” Doukara told BBC Radio Leeds when asked what Monk has done to help him become a better player.
Doukara has managed to play just four Championship matches so far this season, scoring one goal and creating one chance in the process.
The attacker is not guaranteed a place in the Leeds starting lineup, and for the time being, he will have to settle for a place on the substitutes’ bench.
Leeds are ninth in the Championship table at the moment with 23 points from 15 matches, just a point behind sixth-placed Bristol City.
