How Leeds United could line up against Sheffield United

How Leeds could line up against Sheffield United

Marcelo Bielsa will have to monitor the fitness of his international players ahead of Leeds United's Premier League clash with Sheffield United on Saturday.

The Whites are seeking back-to-back wins this weekend after seeing off Fulham 2-1 prior to the two-week hiatus - a result that leaves them 11th in the table.

A number of Leeds players have spent the past fortnight traipsing around Europe with their national sides, but they all appear to have returned injury free.

Tyler Roberts was sent back early from Wales duty for breaching FAW protocol, while Diego Llorente was only used for 45 minutes of Spain's three March fixtures.

Full-back Ezgjan Alioski started all three games for North Macedonia, however, including Wednesday's famous 2-1 World Cup qualifying win against Germany.

All three players are still expected to start on Saturday, while Stuart Dallas - in action on Wednesday for Northern Ireland against Bulgaria - should also get the nod in midfield.

Patrick Bamford, who was unlucky not to be called up by England, seems certain to lead the line for Bielsa's men.

The striker scored one and assisted another against Fulham last time out and also netted in the reverse fixture with Sheffield United, earning his side a 1-0 win at Bramall Lane.

Leeds United possible starting lineup: Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Alioski; Raphinha, Phillips, Dallas, Harrison; Roberts, Bamford
