Leeds United supporters call for Javi Gracia to risk returning star for vital Liverpool clash

Leeds United fans have told manager Javi Gracia to risk starting returning defender Max Wober ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool.

The Whites are in the centre of their second consecutive relegation battle and have been desperately missing the Austrian centre-back ever since his muscle injury while out on international duty in mid-March.

And now fans want him back straight back into the starting lineup alongside his usual partner Robin Koch after Gracia confirmed he'd be assessed in training over the few days before the match.

In their side picked on LeedsLive's widget for their match against Liverpool, fans decided to keep Illan Meslier in between the sticks while Rasmus Kristensen and Junior Firpo line up either side of the central pairing.

In midfield, Weston McKennie and Marc Roca keep their places from the 5-1 loss to Crystal Palace with the American playing in a deeper role in front of the defence.

Alongside the Spaniard occupying the middle is Jack Harrison, who moves in from his role out on the wing. Luis Sinisterra replaces him on the right side, with Wilfried Gnonto also returning to the starting lineup.

Patrick Bamford has been replaced by Rodrigo after the Spanish international's substitute appearance last weekend, despite the former scoring the only goal against the Eagles.
