Leeds United have decided against giving a knee-jerk reaction to offloading Illan Meslier following the Frenchman’s shocking individual error against Sunderland recently.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper cost the Whites all three points after a simple ball back to him crossed the line, allowing the Black Cats to rescue a late 2-2 draw.

However, despite the Frenchman’s shocking error, and the criticism that has since followed, Daniel Farke will not look to part ways with him in January.
