Paul Robinson does not foresee Leeds United terminating Manor Solomon’s loan spell in January, despite speculation following a difficult spell for the winger.

Solomon, 25, has struggled to regain his form after missing four Championship matches due to injury. His dip in form has led to a bench role, especially with Dan James’ return from injury.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Paul Robinson shared his thoughts on Manor Solomon’s situation at Leeds United, suggesting that the club is unlikely to terminate his loan despite recent struggles.

“It’s been really tough for him with injuries,” Robinson said. “He started really well and he’s a top-class player. It was a really good deal for Leeds to get him on loan because I expect other teams also wanted him.”

Robinson acknowledged Solomon’s strong start to his time at Leeds but noted the challenges of a long season in the Championship. He believes that, despite recent setbacks, Solomon will still have a role to play and that the manager will continue to utilize him.

This situation mirrors Leeds’ previous experience with Djed Spence, whose loan was cut short last season. However, Robinson believes it is unlikely that Leeds will take similar action with Solomon at this stage.

Paul Robinson further emphasized the importance of Manor Solomon to Leeds United, especially with the team’s current injury situation. “Ramazani has been injured, as has James, so Solomon is another option for him,” Robinson explained. “With two games per week coming before the end of the season, and the injuries they’ve got, I don’t see Leeds replacing him with someone of a similar quality.”

Robinson’s comments suggest that despite Solomon’s recent benching, his experience and quality will be crucial for Leeds as they navigate a demanding schedule and continue to battle with injuries.

Paul Robinson concluded by stressing that the key for Manor Solomon is simply to regain his best form. “It’s just a case of getting him back to his best between now and the end of the season,” he said. Robinson’s words reflect the hope that Solomon can overcome his recent struggles and injuries, offering Leeds United a valuable option as the season progresses.

Terminating Manor Solomon’s loan spell in January would be a significant misstep for Leeds United, and one that manager Daniel Farke is unlikely to make. Despite the Israeli international’s slow start at Elland Road, having struggled to find his rhythm after an injury, Farke appears content with Solomon’s potential. The winger’s start against QPR before the international break showed his readiness to contribute, and with the team battling injuries and a hectic fixture schedule, Farke will likely want to keep all options open rather than risk losing a player of Solomon’s quality.

With Leeds United striving for promotion back to the Premier League this season, Daniel Farke needs all the options available to him, and Manor Solomon could prove crucial as the campaign progresses. Although he’s faced challenges in regaining full form, Solomon’s quality and versatility could make him a valuable asset, particularly as injuries continue to affect the squad. With a busy schedule ahead, Farke will likely want to keep Solomon in the fold, giving him time to hit his stride and contribute to Leeds’ push for top-flight football.
