Raphinha and Pablo Hernandez line up for power-packed Leeds United under-23s in victory against Norwich City

With Leeds not back in Premier League action until a week on Monday night, Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa gave Raphinha, Hernandez, Tyler Roberts, Pascal Struijk and Ian Poveda starts for the under-23s.

Kiko Casilla also lined up in goal for Mark Jackson's side who recorded a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Poveda and Roberts in the first-half.

Both played the full match of the Premier League 2 clash with Jackson making just the one substitution in taking off Hernandez for Stuart McKinstry on the hour mark.

Leeds United under-23s v Norwich: Casilla, Drameh, Struijk, Cresswell, Davis, Casey, Jenkins, Raphinha, Poveda, Hernandez (McKinstry 60), Roberts. Subs not used: Caprile, Kenneh, Gelhardt, Huggins.
