Full Leeds United squad revealed for Leicester City trip as Wilfried Gnonto set to travel

Jesse Marsch has confirmed that Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto will travel with the squad to the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

Leeds face a crucial match against rock bottom Leicester City as they look to steer themselves away from the relegation mire by ending a six-match winless run.

The Whites will be without Pascal Struijk, who is set to be replaced by Junior Firpo, after Marsch confirmed that the Dutchman had picked up a knock.

Gnonto is still awaiting his Leeds debut after signing on transfer deadline day from FC Zurich. The Italy international has twice been an unused substitute, but was left out of the squad entirely for the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal at Elland Road on Sunday.

Marsch told the media ahead of the Leicester game: "Willy [Gnonto] will be with us and Joffy [Joe Gelhardt] and Sam [Greenwood] and some of the guys that have done a bit of double duty will be with us.

"We knew that with a three game week, we use some of those U21 matches to keep them fit, strong and sharp, and now we're going to need them this week to be ready for us."

Besides Struijk, Adam Forshaw, Leo Hjelde, Archie Gray and long-term absentee Stuart Dallas will also be missing for Leeds.

Full Leeds Squad: Illan Meslier, Kristoffer-August Klaesson; Rasmus Kristensen, Luke Ayling, Cody Drameh, Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Junior Firpo; Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Mateusz Klich, Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi, Brenden Aaronson; Crysencio Summerville, Jack Harrison, Luis Sinisterra; Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Wilfried Gnonto, Joe Gelhardt.
