Ben White’s progression at Leeds seems to be on an upward trajectory and shows no signs of slowing down after the defender was named in the EFL Team of the Week.
It was a test playing without captain Liam Cooper for the 22-year-old, but he marshalled the defence well alongside Gaetano Berardi for the majority of the match, restricting the home side to just the one goal.

It was a typical performance from the loanee and one that is already familiar to the Leeds fanbase, many of whom adore the Brighton man just a few months into his spell at Elland Road.
He also picked up his first assist for the club against the Hatters after a marauding run forward allowed him to play in Patrick Bamford with a delightful pass, and the striker tucked the ball home at the near post to open the scoring.
It is his ability on the ball as well as his defensive qualities which make him so loved, and here are some of the reactions to his recognition from the EFL.
Meanwhile, another Leeds defender impressed on Saturday, and that could ease Marcelo Bielsa’s worries over a big concern.
