Pontus Jansson’s injury concern

Leeds have a fresh injury concern as Pontus Jansson picked up a knee injury in the game against Sheffield United, The Yorkshire Post reports.

The 28-year-old centre-back spent the closing stages of Saturday’s match limping around before ending up in goal.

Jansson is due to join Sweden for international duty but his knee injury will be assessed in the coming days.

Leeds could appeal Kiko Casilla red card

Marcelo Bielsa has hinted that he will take another look at the footage of Kiko Casilla’s red card and possibly appeal it, according to The Yorkshire Post.

The Spanish goalkeeper was dismissed in stoppage time in the 1-0 loss against Sheffield United for a last-man challenge on Billy Sharp.

But Bielsa thinks that he might have been covered by his defenders and could appeal against his one-match ban.

Boost in Ander Iturraspe chase

Spanish media El Gol Digital reports that Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Iturraspe would be keen on reuniting with Bielsa at Leeds.

The 30-year-old midfielder has found himself out of favour at Bilbao this season and is unlikely to win a new contract when his deal expires this summer.

Bielsa knows the experienced Spaniard well and could move for him this summer.
