Mateo Joseph hails ‘big changes’ after Mallorca loan and ACL setback | OneFootball

Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has highlighted big personal changes on his return from a season on loan at Mallorca and an ACL injury. The player said in a post that “Small improvements these past few weeks are starting to turn into big changes, we continue to build.”

Last summer he told the club he did not feel ready to travel to Sweden for a pre-season friendly with Manchester United, then chose not to join the training camp in Germany.

He subsequently informed head coach Daniel Farke he wanted a move back to Spain, with Leeds only willing to sanction a loan. Real Betis showed interest and Mallorca were keen too, and the Spain under-21 international joined Mallorca on a season-long deal.

Joseph made 30 appearances for Mallorca, scoring two goals and providing four assists. His campaign ended in April when he suffered an ACL injury that sidelined him for months.

Joseph returns to Leeds this summer with his future uncertain. The 22-year-old is contracted at Elland Road until summer 2028.
