Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom sends 'right message' over goalkeeper switch
Leeds United manager Paul Heckingbottom felt a goalkeeping change ahead of Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Wolves would send the 'right message' to Felix Wiedwald and the rest of his Whites squad.
Youngster Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who was recalled to the Whites starting eleven for the first time since 2016, replaced Wiedwald between the sticks as the German dropped to the bench.
Barring a brief spell in early October in which former United boss Thomas Christiansen dropped the 27-year-old in favour of back up Andy Lonergan, Wiedwald had nailed down the number one spot for much of the campaign.
