Djed Spence, now with Tottenham, returns to Elland Road, reflecting on his challenging 2023/24 loan at Leeds United, where he played only seven games before a knee injury cut his stint short.
Spence, often deployed out of position at left-back, disputed manager Daniel Farke’s critique of his professionalism, calling it unfair and exaggerated, particularly over minor issues like lateness.
Farke emphasized high standards in discipline and commitment for all players, loan or permanent.
After leaving Leeds in January 2024, Spence joined Genoa on loan, making 16 Serie A appearances, and impressed at Tottenham last season, earning an England call-up for World Cup qualifiers.
Leeds’ unchanged lineup against Tottenham includes Darlow, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin, and Okafor, with injuries to James and Gnonto.
Spence’s return highlights his resilience to prove doubters wrong, as he continues to develop under Thomas Frank’s guidance at Tottenham.
