Marcelo Bielsa has spoken with the media on Friday morning, prior to his side facing Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road.

The Whites are the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday (12:30), live on BT Sport, against a Spurs side also looking to return to winning ways after a midweek defeat.

The Leeds United head coach gave an update on who would be available for the match.  

“There is not a fixed date,” Bielsa stated, on the return of Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper. 

“The prediction that they would be available early march, how they are right now doesn’t seem like that will be the case.

“Diego Llorente and Robin Koch are available.”

The Whites are looking to bounce back after a tough week, following defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United. Our head coach has full confidence in his side to turn the form around, beginning this weekend. 

He said: “These players, they’ve already demonstrated they have the level to play in the Premier League. 

“The style, the model, it has already shown it can work in the Premier League. 

“The effort and willingness of the team, it can’t be doubted because they have been the most intense team in their performance in the whole of their two years in the Premier League. 

“Of course, every game that we play, I imagine that we have true possibilities of winning."
