Bielsa delivers injury update on Leeds quintet ahead of Leicester clash

Marcelo Bielsa has delivered an injury update on five Leeds United players ahead of Sunday’s clash against Leicester – as per the Evening Post.

Leeds secured a second win of the season last time out, squeezing a 2-1 win over Norwich at Carrow Road. A tough victory, but well-fought.

Raphinha and Rodrigo’s relationship continued to blossom, as both goals scored. Jack Harrison struggled, but Dan James was excellent for Leeds.

The quartet are likely to start on Sunday, as Leeds welcome Leicester to Elland Road. A tricky test, but Leicester have played on Thursday night.

The Foxes failed to beat Spartak Moscow at the King Power – Jamie Vardy missing a penalty to win 2-1. Bielsa has given an injury update on five.

He ruled out Luke Ayling, Patrick Bamford and Robin Koch once again – while labelled Jamie Shackleton and Junior Firpo as doubts.

“Ayling, Bamford and Koch are unavailable,” Bielsa said. On Shackleton and Firpo. “From here on now until Sunday I will have a clearer vision.”

Bielsa gives Leeds injury for Leicester: Who will play where?

With Shackleton and Firpo potentially out, and Ayling definitely out, Leeds are lacking in options at full-back. Dallas is the man to come in.

Last week, he played at left-back with Shackleton on the right. But with Shackleton a doubt, it could see Cody Drameh come in.

Dallas cannot cover as he is covering Firpo on the left. So, Drameh might get his chance – having replaced Shackleton from the bench last week.

Kalvin Phillips will sit in front of Diego Llorente and Liam Cooper. Pascal Struijk is also likely to feature, behind the front four.
