Leeds United return to action this evening as they kick off their pre-season campaign with a friendly against Blackpool. The Whites will face the Championship side at York City’s York Community Stadium Leisure Complex looking to begin pre-season with a win.
It has been 10 days since several members of Leeds’ squad made their return to Thorp Arch, and it is they who will be involved tonight. The internationals in Jesse Marsch’s side came back from their holidays on Monday and so are unlikely to be involved, though Leeds could be forced to include Illan Meslier and Kristoffer Klaesson as their goalkeeper options.
Leeds are also relatively short at the back meaning Cody Drameh, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo may be the only defenders in the squad. There is a chance Leif Davis and Jamie Shackleton could be included, however reports are gathering pace the former is on his way to Ipswich Town, while the latter has been heavily linked with a loan switch to the Championship.
