Star Leeds United trio named in Team of the Week despite limited minutes as pair receive double award

Whites players Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Daniel James were all named in the Championship’s Team of the Week following their performances against Huddersfield Town.

Summerville netted twice and set up teammate James on two occasions during the first half as Leeds raced into a four-goal lead by the break. The pair were then substituted midway through the second half as Daniel Farke looks to protect the important duo from sustaining workload-related injuries.

Rutter, meanwhile, was named in the Championship Team of the Week for the second time this season, owing to his contribution to the 4-1 win over the Terriers. In addition, the Frenchman was selected alongside Summerville in the EFL Team of the Week, which selects players based on their WhoScored ratings from across the three Football League divisions.

Rutter was also named in the Team of the Week back in August, alongside Daniel Farke and strike-partner Joel Piroe following the 4-3 win over Ipswich Town. Piroe was selected in the Team of the Week earlier this month after the Whites’ victory against Bristol City.
