Select your Leeds United XI for Bournemouth as key injury setback makes unchanged side likely

Leeds United will be looking for back-to-back victories for the first time this season when they host Bournemouth at Elland Road. The Whites ended their eight-match winless run at Liverpool last weekend and can now look to building some momentum ahead of the World Cup break in 10 days' time.

With the news that Luis Sinisterra's injury is worse than first feared, Jesse Marsch may feel that the starting XI almost picks itself after the historic win at Anfield. Illan Meslier produced a man of the match display against the Reds and will start in goal behind a back four that is likely to consist of Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk.

That said, the likes of Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente and Junior Firpo will be pushing for recalls should any late fitness issues arise. Tyler Adams made an outstanding return to the side after injury last weekend and is almost certain to line up alongside Marc Roca again.

With the aforementioned Sinisterra not expected to be fit until the international break, Jack Harrison and Crysencio Summerville could start on the wings. Wilfried Gnonto provides Marsch with another option, though, after he impressed off the bench on his debut against Liverpool.

That leaves Brenden Aaronson to start in the number 10 role behind either Rodrigo Moreno, Patrick Bamford or Joe Gelhardt, with the former having been given the nod in the last two matches. But you can have your say on who you think Marsch should start using our widget below.
