Dan James will feature for Leeds United’s under-21s this evening as the young Whites get their season up and running against Derby County. The Welshman will sit out of Leeds’ Premier League opener against Wolves this weekend as he completes the three-match suspension he received for being sent off against Chelsea at Elland Road in May.
However, he has been given the go ahead to feature for Michael Skubala’s youth side at Pride Park as they kick off their Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign. James will start against the Rams and he’ll look to use the game to pick up match fitness ahead of the first-team’s trip to Southampton next weekend.
Marsch has revealed James has asked to play in the game and it seems that request went down well at Thorp Arch.
