Leeds United's predicted line-up against Wolves - Marcelo Bielsa has decision over returning defender

Leeds United travel to face Wolves in the Premier League on Friday night - but how will the Whites line-up?

Marcelo Bielsa' s outfit make the trip to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this evening.

The Leeds boss had some positive news in the form of centre-back Diego Llorente but he is the only returning member to his first team squad from the treatment room.

Kalvin Phillips will be missing as will Rodrigo, Ian Poveda and long-term absentee Robin Koch. Gaetano Berardi, though, is continuing to step up his rehab after a torn ACL.

Bielsa is expected to ease Llorente back into his line-up after his latest injury setback and must once again decide on how to use Pascal Struijk.

The 21-year-old has played in midfield in the absence of Phillips and although Mateusz Klich has been deployed their previously the Argentine looks set to stick to his guns despite it requiring a reshuffle of his back four once again.

Here's how we expect Leeds to line-up at Molineux tonight... as it seems it'll be much the same again with Llorente too much of an injury risk to come straight back in:
