Leeds boss Gracia explains holding back Rutter

Leeds United flop Georginio Rutter's bit-part role is set to continue for the time being.

Rutter came to England in a club-record £35.5 million move from Hoffenheim in January.

However, he has been on the periphery of the team since, under both Jesse Marsch and Javi Gracia.

The latter told reporters: “Georgio has had some chances.

“In the time I've been here he's started some games and played some minutes in others.

“It's true he's not had the continuity of game time but when we have more chances he will show his quality. I have to choose what I think is the best for the team.

“Like all new players, Georgi needs time. He's a good character and I'm sure his future will be brilliant."
