Leeds United supporters' delight as Javi Gracia recalls Wilfried Gnonto to starting line-up

Supporters are delighted to see Javi Gracia restore Wilfried Gnonto to the Leeds United starting XI to face Bournemouth.

Gnonto comes in for Luis Sinisterra, while Rodrigo drops out for Crysencio Summerville. Rasmus Kristensen is the third and final change, and he replaced Junior Firpo.

Leeds are winless in four but ended a run of three straight defeats by drawing 1-1 against Leicester City on Tuesday. Luis Sinisterra picked up an ankle injury after 31 minutes and will miss the remainder of the season.

Bournemouth have collected five victories from their last eight in the Premier League, and climbed seven points clear of the relegation zone by defeating Southampton 1-0 on Thursday.

Leeds starting XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper (c), Kristensen; Roca, McKennie; Summerville, Harrison, Gnonto; Bamford.

Subs: Robles, Firpo, Forshaw, Struijk, Wober, Rutter, Aaronson, Greenwood, Rodrigo.

@codylufccrox Would have started Firpo over Rasmus but overall not bad.

@maccalufc85 Would have Rodrigo for Bamford, Firpo for Ayling and Wober for Koch but good to see Willy start.

@AKA_RobDockerty Yay for Gnonto, nay for Kristensen.

@BLayerofficial Gnonto yes!

@akers_ade This the starting XI… really want to see Gnonto playing in Aaronson’s position… give him some freedom.

@gandalflufc They all need to step up today, Gnonto and Summerville need to show why they should be starting. Harrison owes us a big performance along with quite a few others.

@GOBeeston Picks Willy so nobody notices we have two right backs. Cunning plan.

@bazevs Loving that Roca and McKennie pivot for the 5th unsuccessful time in a row.

@doctoralex Defensive line up is making me feel sick.

@russjenks999 Javi has finally listened to the massive Leeds United supporters. Now go and smash away a hat trick of goals Gnonto
