£2.5m player doubtful for Leeds United reunion after limping off for his country
Leeds United finally have a return to Championship action in their sights this weekend.
There is now just one more day of internationals before every player will have returned to Thorp Arch to report back for club duty, after a break that came at the worst possible time for Leeds.
Leeds completed the signings of four new players in the final eight days of the window and before they even had any chance to settle in, up stepped the international break.
Daniel Farke‘s squad had also just began building some momentum with back-to-back 2-0 wins over Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday.
And Leeds could not have asked for a more difficult fixture to mark their return as they host fellow promotion favourites Burnley at Elland Road.
Connor Roberts struggling to make Leeds reunion
In Connor Roberts and Jaidon Anthony, two of Leeds’ loanees from the 2023/24 campaign will be hoping to come up against their former club on Saturday.
Anthony was a late window recruit at Turf Moor and wasted little time to make an impact with a lovely assist on his debut during Burnley’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers.
Roberts, meanwhile, returned to parent club Burnley in the summer after Leeds opted against trying to sign him permanently, and has started all four of their opening league matches.
