Junior Firpo has been told he has everything he needs to be a dominant player at Leeds United for years to come. That's the message to the Dominican Republic-born left-back from his manager Jesse Marsch, who says he is "excited" to see Firpo back on the pitch tomorrow night when he returns to face Leicester City.
An injury to Pascal Struijk means 26-year-old Firpo will make only his second appearance of the season when starting tomorrow's Premier League match against the basement strugglers. It will be just the 20th start in the league for the ex-Barcelona player since his high-profile arrival from Spain last summer.
A lack of form and a series of injuries have meant it's been a difficult introduction to English football for the former Spain under-21 international, who has yet to convince many supporters he is the long term option for the Whites. One man who doesn't need convincing is Marsch.
