Leeds: No new injury worries ahead of Liverpool clash

Leeds United have no new injury problems ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool on Wednesday night, Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed.

The Lowdown: Tough assignment for Leeds

The Whites lost 4-2 at home to Manchester United last weekend and their next assignment is one of the hardest imaginable, with a midweek trip to Anfield on the agenda.

Liverpool have found top form again in recent weeks and are back in the title race, so anything other than defeat for Leeds would feel like a huge bonus for the visitors.

Bielsa has been dogged by injuries to his squad throughout the campaign, but a revelation from the manager prior to the Merseyside clash offers some welcome news for the Elland Road faithful.

The Latest: Bielsa delivers positive injury news

Speaking to the media on Tuesday [via Yorkshire Evening Post], the Leeds manager confirmed that there were no new injury concerns among his squad going into the Liverpool match.

When asked about team news update and whether any new injury worries had arisen, Bielsa gave a succinct three-word reply: “None in particular.”

The Verdict: A welcome positive

This is undoubtedly positive news from a Leeds perspective, with as many players needed as possible for such a tough match tonight.

While the likes of Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips remain sidelined, the only question ahead of the Liverpool clash surrounds Robin Koch, who left the field with a concussion at the weekend and is meant to rest for six days afterwards.

Whether or not Bielsa has ruled out the German in his own head remains to be seen, but it would feel negligent to play him against Jurgen Klopp’s star-studded team if he is not 100%. The last thing Leeds want is for any physical concerns to be needlessly exacerbated.
