Sunday’s trip to Cardiff City will be Leeds United’s fourth match in 12 days. Given it’s a cup fixture and Jesse Marsch has a recent history of rotating players across intense periods, we can be sure changes are coming,
The elephant in the room is who’s fit and who isn’t. The head coach would not name names when he mentioned a large number of players were carrying knocks before the match.
Given we have no idea who he’s talking about, we’ll have to treat everyone as available beyond Adam Forshaw, Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Luis Sinisterra. Illan Meslier was taken out of the EFL Cup trip to Molineux and given he was suffering with glandular fever on the other side of Christmas, this could be a chance for Marsch to rest him.
