Leeds United announced via their official club Twitter account on Monday that midfielder Ronaldo Vieira had been called up by the England Under-20 side for their friendly match against Portugal on Tuesday, and Whites fans were quick to react to the news.
Despite being a key player under the leadership of former boss Garry Monk last season – he made 38 appearances in all competitions – the 19-year-old has found starts harder to come by under Thomas Christiansen and now Paul Heckingbottom in the league this term.
The Guinea-born midfielder has been an unused substitute in the Yorkshire outfit’s previous three Championship fixtures with the likes of Adam Forshaw, Kalvin Phillips and Eunan O’Kane – who has been heavily criticised by the Elland Road faithful for his displays – preferred ahead of him.
Leeds supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the call-up, and while one said: “How? He can’t get in our squad ahead of O’Kane”, another said “but we continue to play O’Kane”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
