Leeds United allay fears surrounding fitness of Chelsea loanee Izzy Brown
Leeds have quashed any concern surrounding the fitness of Chelsea loanee Izzy Brown after he limped out of an Under-23s match against Barnsley.The 21-year-old, who joined the Whites on loan during the summer while still recovering from a serious knee injury, is yet to make his debut for the club.2

Izzy Brown suffered a serious knee injury while on loan at Brighton in January

With Samuel Saiz on his way to Getafe, it is hoped Brown will replace the attacking midfielder in the starting XI in time for the busy festive period, thereby softening the blow.And the club have confirmed there are no fresh problems with the knee he injured in January, insisting it is nothing but a tight hamstring.

Leeds say its a tight hamstring for Izzy Brown. Precautionary substitution and not related to his ACL. Will have it assessed in the next 24 hours but no real concern about him. #lufc— Phil Hay (@PhilHayYEP) December 17, 2018

He will be sent for scans in the next 24 hours but the club, who are currently top of the Championship, are optimistic the scare will not affect the timescale for his planned first-team comeback.Marcelo Bielsa last week warned that Leeds would need to be patient with Brown.2

Marcelo Bielsa says Izzy Brown’s comeback will take time

He needs to work on his intensity and strength but thats normal because of how little hes played,” Bielsa said.The sudden movements he can make, when he sprints, when he stops, the switch of direction, the short sprints, these are the elements that are needed for a player with a technique like Izzy Brown.You need to have a certain level of performance to impose your technical skills. Hes working on these small details.
