Marcelo Bielsa outlines Jack Harrison replacement plan for Leeds United's clash against Manchester City

City loanee Harrison is forbidden from playing against his parent club due to Premier League rules and Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa has signalled his intention to instead play North Macedonian international Alioski on the left wing.

Leeds will also still be without playmaker Pablo Hernandez following his groin strain but Bielsa has no new injuries to contend with ahead of the weekend's eagerly-awaited showdown against Pep Guardiola's side.

Assessing the impact of being minus the services of Harrison and how he planned to change his line-up, Bielsa said: "When a player comes out of the XI and another player comes in and you have to give an opinion on this, we have to mix a lot of common places.

"Harrison is very important.

"We are sad he is not going to play, and Alioski is able to do as well or better than Harrison.

"Then after there is the game where you have to show it."

Asked if he had any other new injuries, Bielsa said: "No."
