OPINION
Izzy Brown has somehow been one of the biggest talking points at Leeds United, without actually kicking a ball for the first team since joining on loan from Chelsea last summer. Marcelo Bielsa knew that Brown, 22, was nursing a long-term injury and he has only managed to get into the matchday squad this month, having been an unused substitute against Swansea and Middlesbrough. Brown took to the pitch at Elland Road on Monday to play 45 minutes for the Under-23s in their 2-0 win against Bolton and as shown in an image by Leeds’ official Twitter, he was more than happy to sign some autographs for the fans who attended the game. That has led to some Leeds supporters making the same joke about injury-prone Brown, saying that he might hurt himself just by signing autographs. He was standing quite close to a step down into the dug-out to be fair, but we think it’s safe to say that the Chelsea loanee walked away from this encounter unscathed.

Left foot first Izzy, left foot. Then slowly follow with your right until you do 2 steps. Then a break.
