Leeds United manager Darko Milanic has dubbed the club's Brazilian starlet Adryan "extremely dangerous", but refused to be drawn on whether he will be selected away against Norwich City tomorrow.
Milanic handed Adryan his debut in Leeds' 2-1 defeat at Rotherham on Friday night, the Brazilian midfielder being introduced from the bench with 30 minutes to go.
Adryan, on loan from Flamengo, showed neat touches and tested the opposing goalkeeper with a smart drive after throwing a defender off.
Leeds fans were encouraged by the 20-year-old's performance and are now hopeful he will be handed a start at Carrow Road.
But when asked about that by LUTV, Milanic would not be drawn on the issue and simply praised Adryan.

"Adryan is a player with great talent, someone with something, I don't want to say special, but with something to become a very good football player", the Slovenian said.
"In 30 minutes on Friday he had a very good game. He was dangerous, he wanted to play forward, he also dribbled very good…he was extremely dangerous", Milanic added.
It remains to be seen whether Adryan did enough against Rotherham to convince Milanic to hand him a start tomorrow.
