Beren Cross says surprise player could be included against Villa

Leeds journalist Beren Cross says Junior Firpo could be included in the squad to face Aston Villa this weekend.

The 26-year-old has yet to play for the Yorkshire club this season but is now fully fit after playing for the Under-21s this week.

Firpo suffered a serious hamstring injury during the club’s first pre-season friendly and Pascal Struijk has started in his place so far this season.

‘Firpo, like Bamford, played for the Under-21s and should be on the bench at least this weekend.’ Beren Cruz said.

Leeds face a busy six-week spell and Firpo’s return is a huge boost for Jesse Marsch’s side.
