The 20-year-old right-back has not had much luck under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United, the youngster had not found himself getting any game time so far this season.

Robbie Gotts was training at Thorp Arch when hhe found out that he was going to be making his Leeds debut.

Marcelo Bielsa is known for naming his starting line-ups early, and this game was no exception, as he named the line-up two days before.

What was just a normal day for Gotts turned into a day he would never forget. He had been waiting patiently for months for the opportunity to play in the first team and now it was his time.

Gotts spoke about the experience, saying: "I was having my lunch in the canteen area and a few of the lads came in and started saying, 'Are you fuelling up?'. But I didn't even know! I was thinking, 'Surely not?".

"I then looked down at my phone and there were loads of notifications coming through and people were sending me screenshots of what Marcelo had said in his press conference. It was a really proud moment for me."

However, the hard work doesn't stop there, as Leeds United are promotion contenders and Gotts vows to do all he can to help the team, saying that he won't stop working hard and improving every day.
