Leeds United team news: Marcelo Bielsa provides updates on Diego Llorente, Kalvin Phillips, Rodrigo, Mateusz Klich and Ian Poveda

Polish international midfielder Mateusz Klich is also fit after his recent hip struggles but England international midfielder Kalvin Phillips and United's record signing Rodrigo are among those that remain out.

Providing his team news at Thursday afternoon's pre-match press conference, Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa said: "Klich and Llorente are available. Phillips and Rodrigo are not.

"Every team has problems with injuries, some more than others.

"Sometimes there are teams who have many injured players at one same period.

"But they are things we know about and we have to find solutions."

Asked about the plan for summer signing Llorente who has played just 91 minutes for Leeds since arriving, Bielsa said: "He's available to play right now and depending on the next few games will depend on when we will use him. The needs of the team will decide this."

Leeds are now facing three games in nine days as Friday's clash at Wolves will be followed by next Tuesday's hosting of Southampton and the following Saturday's Elland Road clash against Aston Villa.

Asked if Phillips or Rodrigo could make any of three games, Bielsa said: "I couldn't give you a certain answer.

"If I tell you that no they won't be able to pay one of then could perhaps make it for one of those games and if I tell you yes they will return I can't tell you this with certainty.

"Sometimes a response that seems like a formality is an actual answer because it's the only way I can answer."

Leeds also remain minus the services of Robin Koch as the German international defender recovers from knee surgery though the 24-year-old posted what looked like another positive update on social media via a photograph of himself in the gym with the words 'loading'.

Gaetano Berardi is also continuing to recover from a torn ACL but was recently pictured back in training whilst Adam Forshaw is a longer term absentee with his hip issue.

Bielsa also confirmed that winger Ian Poveda was also still out following an injury he picked for United's under-23s.

The Whites head coach said: "He's recovering from his injury and it is subject to evolution of the injury."
