Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt set for EFL Trophy run-out after surprise Aston Villa snub

The 20-year-old did forward not make the nine-man bench for Sunday's 0-0 draw with Aston Villa with coach Jesse Marsch confirming it was a tactical choice rather than an enforced one.

"It's not based on performance because I think he's playing well but we've a lot of guys performing well so in that sense maybe you can say it's a pecking order (decision)," explained Marsch, "but I don't look at it that way.

"I really like Joffy and his mentality is great. Maybe we'll use him and a few guys on Tuesday to try to make sure we're keeping rhythm and fitness. A lot of our players need match-time.

"But please don't take it as a negative on Joffy, I believe in him."
