Leeds United supporters are buzzing with anticipation as summer signing Djed Spence inches closer to making his return to the team. Spence, who suffered a knee ligament injury in training last month, is nearing full fitness, leaving fans excited about the prospect of his comeback.
In his absence, several players have stepped up to fill the right-back role. Jamie Shackleton started in that position during the recent 4-1 victory against Huddersfield Town. Youngster Archie Gray has also taken on the responsibility, while Luke Ayling replaced Shackleton during the Huddersfield match.
Spence’s injury was a setback for Leeds, as he had only managed to play nine minutes in a substitute appearance against Sheffield Wednesday before getting sidelined. However, with an expected return date approaching, fans are eager to see him back on the pitch.
Leeds currently sit third in the Championship, having won four out of five games in October. Some fans believe that Spence’s return is crucial, especially with a match against league leaders Leicester looming. They are convinced that including him in the lineup is vital to avoid being “smashed” by the formidable opposition.
Additionally, there is growing discontent among fans regarding Ayling’s recent performances. He hasn’t started in the last four Championship games, and some supporters are calling for changes in the squad during the January transfer window, with Ayling, Liam Cooper, and Patrick Bamford being singled out for criticism.
As the team continues to compete for promotion to the Premier League, the right-back situation remains a topic of discussion among Leeds United fans, who eagerly await Spence’s return and potential changes to the starting lineup.
