Mateo Joseph’s dismal performance for Spain’s Under-21s on Friday may prompt Daniel Farke to bench him for Leeds United the attacker was dragged off the play in the 63rd minute of the match after failing to break the 0-0 draw with England Under-21s on November 15.
Although he was the target of his nation’s onslaught, he was unable to meet expectations or establish his value.
The attacker only managed 28 touches of the ball throughout his 63 minutes on the pitch, missed one significant opportunity, and completed only 25% of his dribbles effectively (Sofascore).
Following his performance on the international scene, Joel Piroe will undoubtedly be selected to play against Swansea City Joseph began Leeds’ most recent game, the victory over QPR last Saturday.
Farke probably expected the Spaniard to continue where he left off, as this performance earned him the team’s starting position in the first place.
He also contributed to four goals in just six games, thus he generally put in a respectable effort however, things haven’t gone exactly as planned lately; the attacker has only contributed once in his past nine games and has gone five games without doing so.
