Leeds United will be looking to get back to winning ways at the weekend when they entertain QPR, having drawn their last two league outings that has seen them drop to third in the Championship.
Ahead of the match though, Whites manager Marcelo Bielsa could be concerned by comments from LeedsLive reporter Beren Cross suggesting that it is possible Ben White could return to Brighton in the January window, after an excellent start to the season at Elland Road.
On a fan Q&A for LeedsLive (2.36pm) Cross indicated: “Much depends on the loanee situation. While I don’t believe Nketiah will be recalled, I do think Ben White is playing so well we have to at least consider the possibility Brighton either want to play him or sell him for a lot of money to another PL club.”
So should Leeds fans be nervous about a White recall in January?

Chris Gallagher
"Yes, it should be a massive concern.
"I didn't understand the relaxed attitude Angus Kinnear appeared to have about this when he addressed it earlier in the campaign.
"White has been superb and that form is obviously going to catch the attention of his parent club, particularly when they aren't keeping clean sheets regularly themselves.
"If I was a Brighton fan I'd be asking why he wasn't involved and it has to be a serious possibility when you consider that Graham Potter has used a back three at times as well. It will be a nervy January window for Leeds and losing White would be a huge setback."
Toby Wilding
"I think this is a big concern for Leeds.
"White has been outstanding since making the move to Elland Road, and in many ways, it would be no surprise if Brighton were now keen to bring him back to the club.
"Considering the huge presence White has already established in that Leeds side, plus the partnership he established with Liam Cooper, it does seem as though the 22-year-old would be a big miss for Leeds.
"Add to that the lack of alternative options Leeds appear to have in that area of the pitch, with Gaetano Berardi looking far from convincing when filling in for the injured Cooper recently, and it seems as though a premature exit for White would leave Leeds with plenty of problems."

"Ben White is a very promising player and he's been excellent for Leeds so far this season.
"Given the way he's performed so far this term, I think there's every chance that Brighton could decide to re-call him, and that would have to be considered a major blow for Leeds' promotion hopes.
"He's got all the attributes of a top defender. Not only has he formed a brilliant partnership with Liam Cooper at centre-back, but he's also been able to fill the void created by Pontus Jansson's departure from Elland Road.
"It remains to be seen whether Brighton do decide to re-call him, but if Leeds were to lose him in January, I think they'd find it very difficult to find a good replacement for him.
"Gaetano Berardi is a good defender and would be able to make the step up, but I don't think he's anyway near as good as White."
