Team news: Leeds trio to miss tonight\'s game, Cooper starts

Rodrigo, Llorente and Raphinha out

Rodrigo will miss tonight’s game having been in close contact with a person who has subsequently tested positive for the Coranavirus. In line with Premier League and Government guidelines he now has to isolate away from the team.
