Marcelo Bielsa's predicted Leeds United starting XI ahead of Cagliari clash


Marcelo Bielsa has split his squad in two once again as the Whites take on Girona in Manchester (18:00) before a second line-up faces Cagliari (19:30 BST) a short while later in Italy.
The Argentine has taken a 16-man outfit to Sardinia with a mix of experience and youth boarding the flight over.

Pablo Hernandez could move wide to accommodate both Mateusz Klich and Adam Forshaw in midfield while Gaetano Berardi may shift across to right-back.
The 30-year-old has featured at centre-back so far during pre-season but the fixture on Saturday evening presents a first opportunity for Ben White and Liam Cooper to form a partnership in the heart of defence.
Bielsa has also taken a host of youngsters for the trip with Leif Davis, Mateusz Bogusz, Jack Jenkins, Oliver Casey and free agent Josh Rae all included in the squad.
