Leeds' next three matches could very well determine their Premier League future; Fulham, Leicester and Bournemouth - all winnable games for a team that, by the end of that stretch, should know roughly where they stand heading into the home straight.
The stakes are high for Leeds, no doubt, but they may be even higher for Weston McKennie.
Even with the threat of relegation looming large, no Leeds player faces as much uncertainty as the USMNT midfielder, who finds himself in a precarious position. His future is directly tied to what happens to Leeds in these next few weeks, and there is an argument to be made that relegation may just be a blessing in disguise.
No-one at Elland Road will want to make that argument, though - least of all McKennie. He was brought in in January to help this club stay in the Premier League and, as things stand, they have a fighting chance. Despite his loan from Juventus not going as well as any would have hoped, it will all come down to a final set of games for McKennie.
