Leeds United defender Leif Davis has sent a message to reassure fans that his recent surgery was successful and that he is on his way back to recovery.

A product of the Leeds academy, Davis has made 10 appearances in total for the Yorkshire club.

The Verdict
Davis has really impressed me in the brief opportunities he has been given this season and you'd hope that he will be back and able to continue his development in no time at all.
Left-back has been a bit of a problem position for the Whites this season, with Douglas, Alioski, and Dallas all struggling at times.
Davis has shown in glimpses that he has the characteristics to be successful in the position in the future and you'd hope that this won't hinder that at all.
It appears that it is unlikely to, as his message suggests that the surgery has gone without a hitch and he is on his way back.
