Noel Whelan claims Leeds’ Ryan Edmondson is not in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans

Former Leeds player Noel Whelan has revealed that striker Ryan Edmondson is longer in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans.

The 19-year-old is now unlikely to be a part of the first team squad anytime soon. The young striker was left out of the 20-man squad that lost to Cardiff City last week and Whelan claims that it is a clear indication of Bielsa’s stance towards the player.

Whelan said to BBC Radio Leeds (h/t HITC): “You’ve got an opportunity to put nine players on your bench, use five of them. If he’s not on there now, you ain’t going to see him.
