Phil Hay of The Athletic has claimed that the shock defeat over the weekend in the FA Cup has led to change in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans this week.
Leeds lost 3-0 against Crawley Town on Sunday where Bielsa’s squad gamble didn’t pay-off.
The decision to withdraw Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk, both of whom are expected to be in the squad against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League clash, left Leeds brutally exposed at the back.
Bielsa initially said that he would use Diego Llorente, the summer signing from Real Sociedad, in under-23s to develop his fitness.
