Leeds United Under-23s - recap: Whites held late on by Brighton in York

It’s all over... 1-1 it finishes in York. Snowdon with the opener but Tolaj pegs back Jackson’s side late on. McGill in the Seagulls goal was brilliant, some brilliant saves - Miller the MOTM for Leeds.

Raphinha is back and available for selection after being left out against Southampton following international duty.

Kalvin Phillips is fit following a calf and hip issue but won’t be rushed back by Marcelo Bielsa.

Patrick Bamford (ankle), Luke Ayling (knee), Junior Firpo (muscle) and Robin Koch (hip) are all in the treatment room.

Wolves boss Bruno Lage has confirmed that Barcelona loanee Franciso Trincao has trained all week having completed his period of quarantine after a positive test for coronavirus.

However, Lage has also revealed that Ivory Coast international Willy Boly will miss the trip to West Yorkshire, joining longer term absentees Pedro Neto (patella fracture), Yerson Mosquera (hamstring) and Jonny (knee) on the sidelines.

YEP XI: Meslier; Shackleton, Llorente, Cooper, Dallas; Forshaw; Klich; James, Raphinha; Roberts; Rodrigo.

“There’s a phrase that I read not so long ago, that teams are made out of crystal,” Bielsa said ahead of Wolves.

“It’s difficult to make them solid but they break from one day to the other. So we played our best game of the season against Watford and the worst against Southampton.

“More than whether the opponents were better or worse, teams change frequently, so what is it that allows a loss of form for a team to recover quickly. The amount of work that is accumulated, and the fortitude spiritually of the group to accept the difficulties.

“There are groups that in the face of difficulties, they move away, they don’t want to belong to something that’s not going through an attractive moment and there’s other groups that are coming together where they belong to and they make the maximum efforts, to modify the realities that affect their people, their club and their fans. And the challenge for a coach in the adversity is to try and find this type of feeling.”

“I met Marcelo at the beginning of the season when we had a manager meeting,” Lage said. “I spoke with him for five minutes and we spoke about my player at Benfica, Helder Costa. And the way he talked about him, it looks like he’s a real gentleman.

“He’s a real gentleman outside of football and in football he’s a brilliant mind who thinks of football in his own way. When you have the chance to see his lectures and when you have the chance to analyse his team, the way he plays, you’re going to play against a strong opponent.

“From my point of view here when I study the team’s first I want to see how they are defending. If they run or not and when you look at Leeds you see they run, they press, they press high and they press as soon as possible.

“The other thing is to look at how they attack and if they want the ball or to only have two or three touches. When you look for Leeds you can see they do both very good. Tomorrow we’re going to play against a strong team.

“It’s going to be a pleasure to play against Bielsa, because when you look for the team you can learn a lot of things; the way he moves, the way he wants his team to play and in this way it’s going to be a strong challenge for us.”
