Daniel Farke’s team, Leeds United, is winning the Championship and trying to close the gap between them and the spots up for automatic promotion.
The Whites’ victory over Leicester City on Friday night, November 3, at King Power Stadium, may have been their best-ever performance as they managed to steal three points from the Championship leaders. Georginio Rutter scored the game’s lone goal.
Crysencio Summerville, on the other hand, didn’t have the best of games against the Foxes. He found it difficult to make an impression on the game, and his only significant contribution against Enzo Maresca’s team came from a late-game booking.
After a confrontation with Hamza Choudhury in the 88th minute, the Dutchman received his fourth caution of the season [Leeds Live, November 6]. As a result, he is currently balancing the risk that one more booking would result in the winger being suspended for one match.
If a player in the Championship receives five yellow cards in the first 19 games of the season, they will be suspended; therefore, Summerville needs to avoid receiving a caution in the next four games in order to avoid a one-game suspension at Elland Road.
Over the past few weeks, the 22-year-old Dutchman has been playing with incredible intensity. In October, he contributed eight goals, including two braces against Huddersfield Town and Norwich City after the international break.
Although it would be devastating for Farke’s team to lose Summerville for the duration of a game due to a string of yellow cards, his defensive prowess also contributes to his exceptional winger status.
Although the German won’t be eager to tell his winger to stop playing defensively, he might advise him to enter tackles a little more cautiously in the upcoming games in order to avoid receiving a suspension.
Leeds United, fortunately, have a wealth of depth in the wide areas. Dan James and Summerville, for example, are still making waves in the English second division, leaving players like Wilfried Gnonto and Jaidon Anthony relegated to the bench.
One of the other wingers in the Whites’ lineup may have the ideal chance to establish themselves as the starting option if Summerville is booked in the team’s next four games.
That ought to give the Dutchman enough incentive to stay out of trouble and avoid receiving another yellow card in order to maintain his position at Elland Road.
