Leeds United players are reportedly beginning to lose faith in goalkeeper Illan Meslier, as reported by the Mail on Sunday. Despite this, there have been no offers for the Frenchman during the current transfer window.
Rumors suggest that the club will reassess Meslier’s future in the summer following a string of costly errors that have left his teammates feeling frustrated. After recent blunders in the match against Hull City, players like Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell, and Joel Piroe were said to be visibly angry.
Meslier’s form has become a major concern for the team and could potentially jeopardize their chances of promotion under Daniel Farke. His mistakes have directly led to dropped points in previous matches against Sunderland and Hull City.
In an interview with BBC 5 Live, former Leeds player Paul Robinson proposed that Meslier may need to be benched in favor of Karl Darlow. While Meslier has been a reliable number one for Leeds, it may be time for a change if the team wants to secure promotion.
If Meslier’s errors continue to cost the team valuable points, Leeds could risk missing out on a spot in the Premier League next season. With the Championship standings incredibly tight at the top, the team must aim for automatic promotion to avoid the uncertainty of the playoffs.
