Select your Leeds United XI for Man City amid several fitness concerns

Leeds United return following the six-week long World Cup break with a huge test against Manchester City. The Whites sit 15th in the Premier League heading into the match and will be looking to use their positive results against other 'big six' sides as confidence heading into the clash.

Jesse Marsch has a number of fitness concerns ahead of Wednesday and that starts in goal with Illan Meslier's availability unclear. Meslier has missed all three of Leeds' winter friendlies with glandular fever but Marsch is hopeful he will be fit enough to play.

Joel Robles and Kristoffer Klaesson are Leeds' options should Meslier not be ready for selection. Liam Cooper is Leeds' only injury concern at the back after a minor calf injury kept him out against Monaco, though Marsch did suggest he would be back training.

Leeds' biggest concern in midfield comes in the form of Tyler Adams, with the USA captain to miss out due to suspension, leaving Sam Greenwood and Adam Forshaw as options to come in. Out wide, Jack Harrison, Crysencio Summerville and Luis Sinisterra are injury concerns, though the former two could recover in time to be in contention.

Leeds will also be hoping that Rodrigo Moreno is available after missing the defeat against Monaco with a tight hamstring, especially given that Patrick Bamford missed all three friendly matches following minor groin surgery.
