Daniel Farke confirms Leeds defender has been demoted to U21s
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has revealed that despite being fit to play, Leo Hjelde has been demoted to the Leeds United under-21 squad.
Despite left-back injury concerns, Phil Hay of The Athletic claimed that the Norwegian wasn’t expected to be taken into consideration.
Hjelde, 20, looks to be out of the first-team picture despite injuries to Sam Byram and Jamie Shackleton.
Phil Hay wrote: “Hjelde is available but Farke says that recently, he’s been working more with the U21s. Didn’t imply that he was likely to be considered.”
There’s a chance the youngster leaves the club when transfer window opens in January.
