Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that Kiko Casilla will play in Leeds United's final game of the season after his surprising recall in the 2-0 win over Southampton.
The Spanish goalkeeper made just his second Premier League start of the campaign at St Mary's, following his appearance in January's 1-0 defeat to Brighton when he deputised for an ill Illan Meslier.
The Frenchman was on the bench for the victory over Saints and Bielsa confirmed that he has made the decision to hand the former Real Madrid man the final two matches of Leeds' season.
"The fact that Kiko played today and will play on Sunday is a decision that I decided to make concrete," he said in his post-match press conference.
Bielsa also praised the role that Casilla has had in helping Meslier this season.
"They are two professionals of a very high level," the Whites head coach added. "And of course the year was a lot more difficult for Kiko, but he was very generous and a very good teammate."

Second-half goals from Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts sealed the 2-0 victory which has secured a top-half finish for Leeds.
Gaetano Berardi also made a long-awaited return when he came on as a half-time substitute for his first senior appearance since he injured his knee in last season's penultimate match, the dead-rubber win at Derby County.
"Berardi is in an excellent state of form," Bielsa said. "Him coming on was very useful, he didn't commit errors and he added a lot."
Next up for Leeds is a final-day home clash against West Bromwich Albion, which will see fans return to Elland Road for the first time in 14 months.
