Cody Drameh knows he faces a battle for senior minutes in a Leeds United shirt this season. The right-back has made one Premier League start under Jesse Marsch, stepping into the side to face Brentford at the start of September.
Despite the one-sided 5-2 scoreline, Drameh was one of those to emerge from the Gtech Community Stadium with his head held high, having turned in a strong performance against the Bees. However, with Luke Ayling and Rasmus Kristensen now considered to be fully fit, Drameh dropped out of the starting line-up this weekend and currently appears to be rooted behind the pair in Marsch’s pecking order.
As such, the 20-year-old lined up for the club’s U21 side on Friday night as Michael Skubala’s side saw off their Stoke City counterparts 4-0 to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League 2 Division 2 season. Drameh was one of Leeds’ best on the night, combining well with Charlie Allen down the right edge and attacking with confidence and precision.
