Slowly but surely the rooms at Leeds United’s team hotel are being filled with more and more experience.
Junior Firpo’s return to contention could see Leo Hjelde make way in the matchday squad at Carrow Road this afternoon.
Luke Ayling, Robin Koch and Patrick Bamford are the only senior names of note expected to be missing from the team coaches on the drive to Norwich City in the Premier League this afternoon.
Raphinha and Jamie Shackleton were considered ‘likely’ inclusions by Marcelo Bielsa during Friday’s press conference, but there would need to be late problems to put their places in peril.
Firpo, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts and one of Jack Harrison or Daniel James look likely to be the experienced options from the bench for Bielsa in Norfolk.
Full Leeds United squad: Illan Meslier, Junior Firpo, Adam Forshaw, Liam Cooper, Raphinha, Tyler Roberts, Kristoffer Klaesson, Diego Llorente, Stuart Dallas, Rodrigo, Daniel James, Pascal Struijk, Jack Harrison, Kalvin Phillips, Joe Gelhardt, Charlie Cresswell, Cody Drameh, Crysencio Summerville, Mateusz Klich, Jamie Shackleton.
