Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson has avoided bringing up the reason behind his surprise omission from Garry Monk’s starting lineup.
Eyebrows were raised when the Swedish centre-back was not named in the first XI for Saturday’s Championship game over Brighton.
The 26-year-old has started 28 league games this season, but Liam Cooper was preferred in the centre of defence.
There has not been a clear cut explanation for why Jansson started on the bench, but it did not affect the team too much as they earned a 2-0 triumph at Elland Road.
The defender took to Twitter on Sunday, but he did not mention the fact that he was an unused substitute.
The result has put the Whites on course for possible automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Newcastle United and Brighton occupy the top two spots in the table, but after Leeds overcame the Seagulls and the Magpies were held to a goalless draw by Birmingham, Monk’s side are eight points adrift.
