Mateo Joseph ready for golden Leeds United chance vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
On Wednesday, February 28, Leeds United will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Patrick Bamford, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, and Dan James are all reportedly doubtful for the game, which could be a crushing blow.
Leeds United is struggling with injuries at Elland Road.
Leeds are presently flying in the Championship, having secured second place on goal difference and reduced the margin to Leicester to just six points.
So, who could enter?
Mateo Joseph set for a good opportunity?
In former seasons, Joe Gelhardt might have gotten the nod, but the pecking order has shifted under Farke‘s guidance.
Mateo Joseph is the next in line to partner Joel Piroe in an attacking two in west London, having started the previous round’s replay triumph over Plymouth.
Leeds might use his pace to rush in behind and direct power, but it will undoubtedly be a difficult task for the young attacker.
Leeds are clearly focused on promotion, and while the FA Cup is a wonderful opportunity to maintain momentum, there are no expectations.
That might benefit not only Joseph, if he starts, but everyone in white.
