Injury-hit Leeds United will return to Premier League action at West Ham United on Sunday afternoon and Marcelo Bielsa has plenty to ponder when it comes to picking his team.

United's Argentine head coach was without the services of nine injured players for last Sunday's FA Cup clash against the Irons, Patrick Bamford finding himself back on the sidelines due to picking up an injury below his hip in training.

That meant Bielsa was without his four main striker options, Bamford out along with Joe Gelhardt (ankle), Rodrigo (heel) and Tyler Roberts (muscle).

Young Sam Greenwood started upfront against the Hammers but was then added to the extensive list after picking up an injury against the Irons.

Kalvin Phillips (hamstring), Liam Cooper (hamstring), Pascal Struijk (foot), Jamie Shackleton (Achilles) and Charlie Cresswell (shoulder) were also missing and Leeds then lost the services of Junior Firpo in the contest following a collision of heads with keeper Illan Meslier.

Firpo revealed after the game that he had felt a bit dizzy and was later feeling fine after completing concussion protocols.

In addition to the huge amount of injuries, United's Spanish international defender Diego Llorente is suspended for this weekend's league rematch against the Irons having picked up five bookings, in addition to Roberts who is also banned but injured anyway.

That means there are doubts about 12 players - though Bamford, Struijk and Rodrigo were close to returning.

Here is the Yorkshire Evening Post's predicted XI vs West Ham

Illan Meslier - GK

The star young Frenchman is the only Leeds player to have played every single minute of every league and cup game so far this season and eventually seemed fine after colliding with Junior Firpo last weekend. So important that he stays fit.

Luke Ayling - RWB

Could be required in the middle should Pascal Struijk not make it. Bielsa was upbeat about his involvement so it could be right-back for the stand-in skipper, his more natural home.

Robin Koch - CB

Has shifted around since returning from a lengthy injury lay-off. His return has been timely and it could be another partner alongside him with Diego Llorente suspended.
