Wilfried Gnonto decision made in two changes – Leeds United predicted XI v Bournemouth
Javi Gracia is predicted to make two changes to the Leeds United starting line-up ahead of the clash against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.
Luis Sinisterra went off with an injury in Leeds’ 1-1 draw with Leicester on Tuesday night [LeedsLive] so he might not be risked by Gracia and Crysenscio Summerville could start on the right wing in his place.
Patrick Bamford could also be axed after his shocking performance in front of goal against the Foxes.
Bamford, 29, missed a golden opportunity to score a winner for Leeds and with the striker still seemingly not fully fit after his continuous injury issues, Gracia might also not want to play him twice in a week.
That means that Rodrigo could be moved into the centre-forward role with Brenden Aaronson coming into the attacking midfield area.
It means that yet again, Wilfried Gnonto is expected to miss out on Leeds’ starting line-up despite widespread calls for him to return to the side.
Illan Meslier is expected to continue in goals behind an unchanged back-four of Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Junior Firpo.
It remains to be seen when Max Wober will be fit to return to the side and even if he is this weekend, he may only be on the bench.
Weston McKennie and Marc Roca could continue in the central midfield roles together despite calls for a change in that area of the pitch.
In the attack, Summerville could come in for Sinisterra on the right with Jack Harrison keeping his spot on the left wing after an encouraging display against Leicester.
Aaronson is then predicted to come in for Bamford and start in the number 10 role behind Rodrigo.
