Michael Skubala has named a strong Leeds United U21s side to face Nottingham Forest at Meadow Lane this evening. Tonight’s game will be Leeds’ first Premier League 2 Division 2 game since early November and they’ll be looking to pick up where they left off by further establish themselves at the top of the table.
Cody Drameh is involved for the youth side and he’ll be looking to get some minutes in his legs ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup clash at Cardiff City. Jesse Marsch has confirmed the right-back will be involved in South Wales and therefore he will see his game time managed.
Sonny Perkins and Mateo Joseph are both involved and Skubala will be keen to see his strikers continue their respective scoring runs for the U21s. Leo Hjelde features at centre-back, while Dani van der Heuvel makes his first competitive appearance for the youth side this season after recovering from a fractured neck.
