Marcelo Bielsa to make changes as Leeds face Bolton
Posted Tuesday, August 14, 2018 by PA
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa will make wholesale changes for his side’s home Carabao Cup tie against Bolton.
Bielsa has confirmed goalkeeper Jamal Blackman will make his first appearance for the club, while fellow summer signings Patrick Bamford, Jack Harrison and Lewis Baker are poised for their first starts.
Teenager Jamie Shackleton, plus defenders Pontus Jansson and Tom Pearce are other players set to feature as Bielsa utilises his squad.
Midfielders Adam Forshaw (foot) and Stuart Dallas (thigh) both remain sidelined.
Bolton have signed goalkeeper Remi Matthews and defender Jonathan Grounds on loan from Norwich and Birmingham respectively and it remains to be seen if either will be involved.
Manager Phil Parkinson has confirmed he will be making changes, so the likes of Jack Hobbs and Mark Little could make their first appearances of the season.
Summer signings Erhun Oztumer and Marc Wilson are in contention to make their club debuts.
Winger Sammy Ameobi (hip) and striker Clayton Donaldson (groin) missed Saturday’s home draw against Bristol City and remain doubtful.
