Confirmed Leeds United starting XI v Wolves
Leeds United have confirmed their starting XI for their Premier League clash against Wolves this afternoon.
Marcelo Bielsa has numerous injury issues in his squad, with the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford just three to miss out.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, the Whites have welcomed back Raphinha after his exploits with Brazil this month.
Bielsa must be ruing his luck this month.
Our injuries are really causing a problem, and none more so than the fitness of Kalvin Phillips at Thorp Arch.
The England international is said to be healthy, and it appears strange that El Loco is being cautious – especially when we struggle immensely without him.
Hopefully, we can break that trend this afternoon and the midfield can step up in his absence from the starting XI for one of the first times.
Must win.
There are no excuses here, Leeds simply have to start picking up some wins in the Premier League sooner rather than later.
Wolves are sitting in mid-table, and despite picking up some form of their own recently, they are the type of teams we need to be beating.
Another defeat and results going against us elsewhere could see us sitting in the relegation zone come this evening and we certainly don’t want that.
Looking at our options though, it is going to be a hard task.
Hopefully, the return of Raphinha and a packed out Elland Road is enough to drive us towards another crucial three points this season.
