Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen has a midfield selection dilemma ahead of game against Aston Villa.
Leeds United are back in action on Friday night when they host Aston Villa and manager Thomas Christiansen has a difficult decision to make regarding whether to restore Ronaldo Vieira to the starting line-up.
The 19-year-old has produced some impressive performances this season but missed the 2-0 victory away to Barnsley through suspension, with Eunan O’Kane seizing his opportunity in Vieira’s absence.
Vieira will be eager to return to the Leeds midfield as Christiansen’s side look to start performing consistently and, despite O’Kane’s encouraging display against Barnsley, the youngster should reclaim his starting spot.
Although he still has more developing to do, Vieira is a fine talent, with his energy and excellent passing in midfield making Leeds a more stable side.
O’Kane could still have a part to play against Villa as a substitute but Vieira has done enough with his performances so far this campaign to go straight back into the team.
After enduring a difficult run of form, there have been some positive signs of late from Leeds, who have won two of their last three Championship games, and they will be aiming to build upon that against Villa.
