Jesse Marsch finds himself struggling with a familiar headache as he prepares his Leeds United team to face Aston Villa on Friday night. United's right-back options have been a talking point at various points of the season and it seems Marsch has another tough call to make this week.
The head coach has three specialist right-backs to choose from with Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen and Cody Drameh all vying for his approval, but no one has been able to completely nail the spot down over the last few weeks. The head coach made it clear that Kristensen was his first choice over the first few months of the season, backing the Denmark international over Ayling, who missed the start of the campaign through injury, and Drameh.
Kristensen struggled for form initially, but he started to settle and find his feet through October and November as the World Cup break approached. However, Marsch seems to have changed his stance since the club’s return to action, with Ayling getting the nod to start the Whites last couple of Premier League games.
