Leeds United squad revealed for Real Sociedad as Whites continue to nurse injuries and illnesses

Leeds United will look to make it two wins from two over La Liga opponents over the winter break as they host Real Sociedad at Elland Road on Friday night ahead of their return to Premier League football in two weeks' time.

Head coach Jesse Marsch will have World Cup stars Rasmus Kristensen, Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson back at his disposal after they returned to Yorkshire after their time with their countries in Qatar.

The rest of the squad from the Whites' 2-1 win over Elche last week will also remain for the Sociedad fixture, as youngsters Leo Hjelde and Joe Gelhardt will look to reprise their roles in the starting XI.

However, it's more likely that Marsch will use this last opportunity to get some of those who came off the bench last week some more minutes before a tough opponent in the Citizens later this month.

Leeds have been nursing a number of injuries and illnesses over the past month and while the likes of Diego Llorente and Junior Firpo should be fit to return, Patrick Bamford, Illan Meslier, Kristoffer Klaesson, Luis Sinisterra, Archie Gray and Stuart Dallas will all miss out on the Elland Road Friday night lights.

Below is a look at the players believed to be available to Marsch for the clash:

Full Leeds United squad: Joel Robles, Dani van den Heuvel, Cody Drameh, Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen, Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Leo Hjelde, Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi, Mateusz Klich, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo, Joe Gelhardt, Sonny Perkins, Mateo Joseph.
