Michael Skubala is keen to continue supporting Wilfried Gnonto’s development as he aims to break into the Leeds United first-team. Gnonto made his Whites debut on Saturday, a couple of months after arriving at Elland Road, as he stepped off the bench to play the final few minutes of Leeds’ win over Liverpool at Anfield.
He made a big impact, too, putting the ball into the box for Crysencio Summerville to poke home in the 89th minute of the contest. The Italy international will be keen to build on that outing by getting more senior minutes before and after the World Cup break, but the door remains open to him should he wish to keep sharp with the U21s.
Gnonto picked up his fifth start for the youth team on Tuesday night as they took on Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road and, while he may not have been able to help the Whites to victory, Skubala is happy to provide him with the minutes he needs.
