Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has claimed he is ‘doing well’ despite his second half substitution due to injury in Friday’s 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Meslier was replaced by debutant to Kristoffer Klaesson in the 10th minute of the second half after a challenge with Raul Jimenez, that saw him receive a second yellow card.
Prior to Friday’s game at Molineux, Meslier was the only member of Leeds’ first-team squad not to have been affected by injuries this season – starting every game in all competitions. However, he was the fourth player in Jesse Marsch’s starting XI to be substituted due to injury yesterday, following Patrick Bamford, Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich (concussion) off the pitch.
Meslier was caught late by Wolves striker Jimenez outside of the penalty area after the Leeds goalkeeper had got to a long ball in behind the defence first. But it was that moment of the game that arguably turned the game in the Whites’ favour.
