Adam Pope reports that James Debayo has been sighted coming for Leeds United before of their match against Middlesbrough.
On August 14, a BBC journalist stated that the 19-year-old had arrived with Alex Cairns and the rest of the squad for the match against Portsmouth at Elland Road.
This would have surprised supporters, given that the defender’s last and only appearance in a matchday squad came as an unused substitute against Wolves in 2022 [Transfermarkt].
James Debayo could play for Leeds United against Middlesbrough.
The Whites have had an up-and-down transfer window, but they are short in centre-back depth for their cup game.
Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk began against Pompey, but Daniel Farke may want to use some squad rotation.
This will be especially true given Leeds’ away game against West Brom on Saturday (17 August) at 12:30 p.m.
As a result, Debayo might make his Leeds first-team debut, two years after being included to his last matchday squad.
Many supporters would be unfamiliar with the former England youth international, but this may be an exciting time for him to make his debut.
Most supporters aren’t thrilled to see Max Wober return to the club at Elland Road, but the 19-year-old might rapidly become a fan favourite.
It is unknown whether Debayo will play in Farke’s side, and it would be intriguing to watch if he is given the opportunity.
