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

Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has hailed significant personal changes as he returns from a season on loan at RCD Mallorca that was cut short by 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”, alongside gym images in Leeds training gear.

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 squad’s Germany training camp. He later informed head coach Daniel Farke he wanted a move back to Spain, the club only open to a loan.

Real Betis showed interest and Mallorca were also keen, Joseph ultimately joining on a season-long loan. He made 30 appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists.

His campaign ended in April due to the ligament injury, leaving him facing at least a few months out. He returns to Elland Road this summer with his future unclear, and is contracted until the summer of 2028.
