da bet7： Amid Leeds United seemingly being just weeks away from securing a place in the Premier League for the first time in 16 years, football in England has been postponed.
da heads bet： You couldn’t write it, could you? Leeds’ chances of going up may be scuppered by the ongoing situation, and just as worryingly, three of their key players’ futures may also be affected.
It’s unknown when the season will be resumed, with it being likely that it could quite easily run into the summer if things don’t get better soon.

And that could affect Marcelo Bielsa’s side big time. Leeds’ team is heavily built around loan players, and those deals would be up in the summer as things stand.
It’s unknown at the moment whether or not those would be extended as the idea of extension waivers has been discussed, but nothing is yet confirmed.
The worrying thing is that nobody truly knows the way this will work as we’re in unchartered territory, and while those issues are still up in the air, Leeds have something to worry about.
At Leeds, Ben White and Jack Harrison have been vital to the Whites’ success this term, starting every single game in the league this season, while Illan Meslier is currently their number one as Kiko Casilla continues to serve his ban for racism.
If the season does run into the summer and the clubs aren’t able to come to an agreement to extend these loans, the Yorkshire club’s promotion chances could be in jeopardy as they’d lose three important players at a crucial point of the season.
Time will tell how long the campaign is postponed for and how these loan deals will work as we step into unprecedented circumstances, but as things stand, there is plenty of reason to be concerned about the future of these three vital players at Elland Road.
In other news, Marcelo Bielsa may have saved Leeds a lot of money.
