Leeds United squad revealed for Newcastle United clash as quartet remain absent

Leeds United Sam Allardyce Newcastle United Newcastle (Organization) Archie Gray Georginio Rutter Illan Meslier Mateo Joseph Rodrigo Leeds United U21s

Sam Allardyce makes his Elland Road bow as Leeds United boss this afternoon and the former England boss knows just how vital it will be for his side to get a result against Newcastle United.

Leeds have just three games remaining to dig their way out of the relegation quagmire, kicking the weekend off 19th in the Premier League table, two places and two points from safety. A win against Eddie Howe's Champions League hopefuls would pile the pressure on the likes of Everton, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City who all play later this weekend.

Allardyce has four injuries to contend with and although he said the situation around the treatment table was 'not too bad' in Thursday's pre-match press conference, Leeds will have to make do without some key players.

Liam Cooper is not yet fit to return to the squad, with Stuart Dallas still unavailable, while Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra will not play against this season.

Allardyce will have a number of key decisions to make, most notably in goal, where he dropped Illan Meslier for his first game in charge at Manchester City and up front, where Rodrigo came off the bench to score at the Etihad.

Here is a look at the squad available for this weekend's crunch clash...

Full Leeds United squad to face Newcastle United: Illan Meslier, Joel Robles, Kristoffer Klaesson; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Pascal Struijk, Max Wober, Diogo Monteiro, Junior Firpo; Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca, Darko Gyabi, Archie Gray, Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson, Weston McKennie, Sam Greenwood; Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto, Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Sonny Perkins, Mateo Joseph.
