Leeds United confirmed team news v Manchester United: Pascal Stuijk ruled out
Michael Skubala has issued an injury update on Leeds United ahead of their game against Manchester United on 12 February.
The caretaker boss is expected to be in charge of his second game of the senior side after he guided them to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford earlier this week.
He has revealed which players are going to be ruled out for the clash this weekend in his press conference on Friday, 10 February with Pascal Stuijk ruled out and Liam Cooper, Marc Roca and Luis Sinisterra doubts for the game.
Phil Hay said on Twitter, “Injuries – Struijk will miss out because of concussion protocols. Cooper and Roca still being assessed but have a chance. Sinisterra too. Skubala says they’re minor muscle injuries. “We need to look after them.”
Repeat performance?
The reverse fixture earlier this week saw Leeds taking the game to Manchester United at Old Trafford – a place where they’ve done well this season.
The three-man coaching team proved to be too good to beat for Erik ten Hag and they’re going to be in charge once again.
It will be interesting to see if they go for the same system as it clearly worked and they took advantage of Man United missing two key players in midfield.
Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie absolutely ran the show on the day and they’re going to be the likely starters once again.
Their connection built during their time with the United States national team is certainly going to benefit Leeds and this may see Brenden Aaronson also take his game to the next level.
It’s going to be a fascinating game between two arch rivals and we cannot wait to see how the action unfolds at Elland Road.
