Former Leeds United star Andy Ritchie has questioned why the club’s captain Sol Bamba has left the club. The Ivorian recently exited Elland Road by mutual consent.
Writing in his column for the YEP, Ritchie said Bamba leaving Leeds United was something of a risk. Ritchie thinks it’s baffling what happened because Bamba suddenly fell down the pecking order in Garry Monk’s squad, despite being captain of Leeds United.
“It’s a little bit risky. But the thing about Sol Bamba, for me, is how he has sort of dropped down the pecking order so quickly. I don’t know what’s happened there and that’s the baffling thing for me.
“He was captain. Some managers then have club captains and actual on-the-pitch captains which is a bit alien to me,” said the former Leeds United forward.
Bamba joined Leeds United from Serie A side Palermo in 2015 after he an earned a contract following a successful six-month loan spell. The 31-year-old played 29 league games last season, but didn’t feature in Leeds United’s last three Championship matches.
