Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction after learning why Barry Douglas wasn’t included in the squad.
Douglas was left out of the squad for the trip to Hillsborough as Leeds drew 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday in the Championship clash.
Marcelo Bielsa has revealed after the game that the 30-year-old felt something on his knee, and that’s why he wasn’t risked for the game.
Douglas has struggled with his form and fitness under Bielsa, and his latest absence hasn’t gone down well with the Leeds fans. Here are some of the selected tweets:
Probably his knee cap – he’s made of glass !

Sell him in January, get a proper starter in. I can’t keep looking at him and Alioski.

Needs to improve
Douglas was impressive for Wolves during the 2017-18 season as he helped the club achieve promotion to the Premier League. The following season, he moved to Leeds, and did a decent job last term, managing 27 games in all competitions.
The left-back has struggled with his fitness, and therefore hardly finds the consistency the club is looking for from him.
While Leeds probably won’t sell him in January, his long-term future at the club could be under scrutiny unless he performs at a high level.
