Leeds United news as Marcelo Bielsa faces tough questions and James Milner's thank you message

Your Leeds United headlines for Thursday, February 24.

Bielsa quizzed on style and boardroom faith

Marcelo Bielsa was again quizzed about his style of play and the faith from above after last night's capitulation at Liverpool.

Asked whether the owners have expressed concern, he said: "Not specifically but when a team is going through what we're going through, it's only going to awaken doubts. I don't need them to give me conclusions on the result of the team I manage."

He was adamant, however, that he won't be changing Leeds United's approach.

The heavy defeat to Liverpool leaves Leeds just three points above the drop zone having played two games more than 18th-placed Burnley.

Milner thanks Leeds faithful

Former Whites midfielder James Milner has thanked Leeds supporters for the ‘warm reception’ he received from the away end last night.

The 36-year-old was born and raised in Leeds and broke through the youth system at Elland Road in 2002.

However, well-documented financial difficulties forced Milner’s exit to Newcastle and he has gone on to have a stellar career since - winning multiple Premier Leagues and a Champions League title.

The veteran acknowledged the Whites supporters with an Instagram post after the game.

Jack Harrison injury update

Bielsa has refuted any suggestion that Jack Harrison picked up an injury in the closing stages against Liverpool.

The Leeds winger failed to track for one of the several late goals at Anfield last night, leading to questions over his fitness and whether he had tweaked a muscle.

However, Bielsa has shut down claims that the 25-year-old is injured.

“I did not get that impression,” he told LeedsLive post-match.

“I think he is one of the players who made the most efforts in the game.

“I saw him keep up with TAA or whoever was down that sector with a lot of effort.

“Perhaps you observed something I did not manage to see. I was next to him and did not notice any limitations.”
