‘Interesting’: 26-year-old Leeds player barely trained last week under Sam Allardyce – reporter
Robin Koch was barely involved durin𒀰g Sam Allardyce’s first 🎉week of training at Leeds United.
Speaking on , Ian Irving was speaking about some of the changes that Allardyce made to his team at the weekend against Manchester City, and he discussed the decision to leave Koch on the bench.
It was interesting to see Koch left on the bench. After all, he was replaced by Rasmus Kristensen – a natural full-back, and he’s been one of Leeds’ most consistent performers this season.
However, according to Irvi💧ng, Koch missed a lot of training last week due to an injury, and that led to this weekend’s defensive switch.
Koch missed training
Irving shared what he heard about Koch.
“Another interesting aspect to the t🅰eamsheet if we can, Robin Koch I understood missed a bit of training during the week so Kristensen was moved inside for that, but Adam Forshaw was moved into the midfield for only his third Premier League start too,” Irving said.
Does he return?
Koch was fit enough to be on theᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ bench against Manchester City, so he may well be fit enough to return to the team next weekend against Newc൩astle, but the question is, should he?
Even though Leeds lost a🥃gainst City, their defence🦄 did a good job at keeping the Premier League champions-elect at bay, with two moments of brilliant from Ilkay Gundogan proving the difference at the weekend.
Of course, Kr🀅istensen is a natural f🅠ull-back, but he didn’t look lost at all when playing as a centre-half against City.
ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚSam Allardyce will have to gamble and roll the dice a few times if he wants to keep Leeds in the Premier League, and🐈 perhaps keeping Kristensen in the side is a call he will opt to make.
