Angus Kinnear that he cannot see Kiko Casilla returning to🥂 Leeds Un💫ited.

Loan to Elche

Casilla left Leeds on loan to join Elche this summ🎃er, after falling down the pecking order at Elland Road.

Iꦫllan Meslier had pushed Casilla into second choice in goal, after showing some brilliant form over the last season ꦆand a half.

Leeds have also now signed Kristo𓆏ffer Klaesson this summer to bolster their goalkeeping ranks.

And Kinnear admꦏits that he cannot see Casilla playing ano🎉ther game at Elland Road.

“There’s another year after this one, so I think emotionally Kiko want🍸s to be back in Spain, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t return – but there is still another year [of his contract] at Leeds,” Kinnear said.

“It wa✤sn’t working for Kiko for a number of reasons, largely becaღuse he wasn’t playing regularly.”

No big loss?

That news is unlikely to disappointment many Leeds 💯fans, with Casilla not the most popular member o🐼f the squad at Elland Road.

Casilla was actually afforded a handful of appe꧅arances towards the back end of last campaign, with Marcelo Bielsa seemingly gifting him chances as a goodbye present.

Whether Casilla will sign for 🎐Elche remains ꦍto be seen, but he is expected to be the Spanish sides number one for the duration of his loan.
