The recent suspension of Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has seen plenty of attention thrust onto the back-up options for the West Yorkshire side. 

Ilan Meslier is a competent replacement whilst January arrival Elia Caprile and Kamil Miazek will likely battle it out for number two and three in the list. 

But plenty of fans have also been asking about youngster Will Huffer. 

Last season, with both Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Jamal Blackman injured, Huffer found himself in goal for Leeds for a Championship clash with Bristol City. He kept a clean sheet that night as Leeds won 2-0. 

He spent the second part of last season on loan at Barney and signed a one-year contract extension in the summer.

So could Huffer find himself in contention?

It appears not. Plenty of Leeds United fans will have noticed that Huffer has not even been in under-23 action this season. His social media activity has also alluded to a potential injury problem

Huffer has confirmed as much this week. Responding to a fan on Twitter, the goalie confirmed he is suffering with a serious wrist injury. 

Leeds United fans will no doubt wish Huffer all the best in his recovery and it will be interesting to see what happens in the summer when his contract expires. 

Hopefully, Leeds will give the youngster all the help he needs to fully recover and find himself a new club going forward.
