Leeds boss Bielsa faces goalkeeper crisis
Posted Friday, November 23, 2018 by PA
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa could hand a first-team debut to either Will Huffer or Kamil Miazek in the home game against Bristol City.
Bielsa is facing a goalkeeper crisis with first choice Bailey Peacock-Farrell struggling to overcome a knee injury and Jamal Blackman returning to parent club Chelsea after breaking his leg.
Centre-half Pontus Jansson is also expected to be ruled out due to a foot injury, so Kalvin Phillips may switch from midfield to partner Liam Cooper at the heart of defence.
Gaetano Berardi (hamstring), Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford (both knee) remain long-term absentees, while midfielder Izzy Brown is still working his way back from injury.
Bristol City pair Mo Eisa and Hakeeb Adelakun could both return to contention after long-term injury.
Forward Eisa has been sidelined since the end of August due to an ankle injury and a similar problem has prevented Adelakun from making his City debut following his summer switch from Scunthorpe.
Captain Bailey Wright is closing in on his first appearance of the season after returning to action with the under-23s this week.
The Australia defender had surgery in the summer to resolve a long-standing thigh problem.
