Full Leeds United squad revealed as Mateusz Klich fears allayed ahead of Sheffield United clash

Marcelo Bielsa should be able to call on a strong matchday squad for Leeds United's Premier League clash against Sheffield United this afternoon.

The Whites are finally back in action following the final international break of the campaign and will face a Sheffield United side that are under the watch of former Leeds boss Paul Heckingbottom.

The two-week gap in fixtures has handed a number of Leeds players the opportunity to either rest, recuperate or recover from injuries or illness.

Skipper Liam Cooper is available again after missing the last two matches, while Spanish duo Rodrigo and Pablo Hernandez are both available again, although Bielsa did suggest they are both short of match fitness.

The Leeds boss also placed a question mark over the availability of Mateusz Klich when he spoke on Thursday, with the Pole going through the Covid-19 protocols following his positive test while on international duty with Poland. However, a training video released on Friday featured the midfielder with the main group, suggesting he will be available.

Bielsa was unable to give updates on several of Leeds' international players in his pre-match press conference as they had not yet returned to Thorp Arch, but should the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Stuart Dallas, Ezgjan Alioski and Diego Llorente have made it through their fixtures unscathed, then Adam Forshaw is the only member of the senior squad that is definitively ruled out of action.

Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper, Ian Poveda, Patrick Bamford, Ezgjan Alioski, Tyler Roberts, Kiko Casilla, Diego Llorente, Stuart Dallas, Helder Costa, Raphinha, Pablo Hernandez, Rodrigo, Pascal Struijk, Jack Harrison, Kalvin Phillips, Leif Davis, Gaetano Berardi, Joe Gelhardt, Mateusz Klich, Jamie Shackleton, Niall Huggins
