Leeds United goalkeeper James Trafford received praise for his performance in England's 2-0 win against Czechia.
Leeds United goalkeeper James Trafford featured in England's 2-0 win against Czechia on Tuesday, where he received widespread praise from national media outlets. Several commentators described his performance as 'excellent', and manager Thomas Tuchel was reported to be pleased with how he played.
Trafford, who joined Leeds as a club-record £40 million transfer, has been one of the standout performers in the Whites' season to date. The Telegraph reports that Gary Lineker questioned Tuchel's decision regarding team selection, noting that only one of Leeds's two England players featured in the match.
Off the pitch, Trafford has indicated he would be willing to do an Otley Run—a traditional pub crawl in Leeds—if the club wins a trophy. The goalkeeper appears confident heading into the rest of the season, with his recent performances suggesting he is 'more ready than ever' to make a significant impact.
