Jesse Marsch outlines positive selection headache amid Leeds United's improved attacking options

Jesse Marsch insists that Leeds United's improved options in the final third will allow the team to be 'stronger off the bench'. The Leeds boss selected Rodrigo to lead the line against Brentford, while Patrick Bamford and club record signing Georginio Rutter started on the bench.

Leeds had previously been deprived of attacking options with Luis Sinisterra and Bamford both out injured. However, Rodrigo has shone in Bamford's absence scoring 12 goals across all competitions, and Wilfried Gnonto is quickly establishing himself as a key player for the Whites.

The signing of Rutter from Hoffenheim has coincided with the returns of Sinisterra and Bamford from injury, and Marsch claims that he always intended to fill his squad with a wealth of attacking options.
