Leeds United vs Norwich City - Tyler Roberts to start for Leeds against Norwich
Posted Friday, February 01, 2019 by PA
Leeds striker Tyler Roberts will make his first league start since October in the top-of-the-table clash against Norwich.
Roberts made a positive impact off the bench in last week’s win at Rotherham and boss Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed he will be one of two changes.
Pontus Jansson is back from suspension and will replace Kalvin Phillips at the heart of defence and defender Barry Douglas is set to return to the bench.
Izzy Brown will continue to build up his match sharpness with the development squad, while Gaetano Berardi, Patrick Bamford and Stuart Dallas are all out.
Norwich could include new signing Philip Heise in their squad following the German left-sided player’s permanent switch from Dynamo Dresden.
Midfielder Emiliano Buendia recovered from a dead leg in time to play 88 minutes in last week’s home draw against Sheffield United and is expected to be fit.
Midfielder Louis Thompson (dislocated shoulder) and striker Carlton Morris (knee/ankle) are still out.
Alex Tettey (abductor muscle), Moritz Leitner (ankle) and Timm Klose (knee) are long-term absentees.
