Sanchez Watt will now be able to play against Arsenal for loan club Leeds United at the weekend, after being given permission to feature. Watt was told earlier in the week he was ineligible, but the decision has been back tracked.
A statement on Leeds United’s website this afternoon confirmed that, despite originally being informed the loan winger would not be able to feature, he is now able to play. The Yorkshire club did not provide a reason as to why the 20-year-old is now eligible.
Watt used his Twitter page to tell followers he would not be able to play earlier in the week, but spoke of his joy at the decision being over turned this afternoon. He admitted the game will be ‘the biggest of his career’. Watt is currently recovering from stitches in his head, needed after receiving a nasty blow during last nights defeat to Cardiff City.
Watt is expected to be part of the squad, however.
