Wolves v Leeds United - Marcelo Bielsa press conference key points: Kalvin Phillips, Diego Llorente and Wolves analysis

The Whites travel to take on Nuno Espirito Santo's men on Friday night in the Premier League.

Leeds fell to defeat at Arsenal last time out in the top flight while Wanderers were victorious at Southampton.

United are waiting on a number of injuries for the trip to Molineux with key midfielder Kalvin Phillips missing the clash at the Emirates due to a calf issue.

Bielsa will update over his fitness and also discuss the potential return of Rodrigo and defender Robin Koch, who have both posted on social media in recent days amid their recoveries from the treatment Thorp Arch treatment.

Leeds are also missing centre-back Diego Llorente but long-term absentee Gaetano Berardi has return to training in recent weeks.

United's head coach will also be quizzed on a number of topics including this weekend's opponents Wolves - who sit one place and two points behind Leeds ahead of kick-off.

The Argentine head coach is due to speak to the media at around 12.30pm, we'll bring you all the latest at the conclusion of the press conference below.

What is the injury latest? How is your squad looking for Wolves?

"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're things we know about and we have to find solutions."

Wolves are an example of that with Raul Jimenez. What have you made of them this season?

"To build a team is not a task you only do in one year. In the case of the centre forward of Wolverhampton to replace him they have brought in a player with good pedigree. We made our signings at the beginning of the year. We made a big effort for this.

"We made a big effort to conserve Meslier, Harrison and Costa. And to bring in Koch, Llorente, Raphinha and Rodrigo.

"To adapt your squad is a complicated task. To have a complete squad in your first year in the Premier League is very difficult. We have to make reference to look at how much it would cost to get good players in.

"The example is we wanted to buy Ben White for £30m but weren't able to. We have to go in a careful manner and try to evolve the group."

Will you stay with Pascal Struijk in midfield?

"Pascal is one option but we have others in the group. For a while now I prefer not to anticipate and tell the team."

Diego Llorente - what is the plan for him now?

"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."

Are his injuries bad luck or is he not up to speed for the Premier League?

"He is an international with Spain. He is a player who was formed at Real Madrid.

"I obviously consider what you are saying it is very difficult to ignore the injuries he has had. There's only one satisfactory response to your question and that is that he doesn't repeat another of these injuries and he plays consistently. That is what we desire and he works in a big way to make this happen."

What about Ian Poveda?

"He's recovering from his injury and it is subject to evolution of the injury."

Illan Meslier - he's had some criticism after Arsenal, are mistakes part of his learning?

"There's no goalkeeper that doesn't make any mistakes. Goalkeepers consolidate themselves when they get over mistakes they have made.

"It's normal that the critics forget about what you have done in the past and fix themselves on the present. A better answer than mine would be one that the Liverpool manager gave on the subject."

Tyler Roberts - were you impressed by his impact at Arsenal? How does he compare to Rodrigo?

"Tyler and Rodrigo have things in common. They're strikers who can play as a lone striker or behind the striker.

"In the game against Arsenal he had a significant weight in the game. Our offensive game improved a lot in the second half and he had a lot to do with that improvement. He's in condition to leave his mark when he participates."

Nuno Espirito Santo said this fixture is a confrontation of ideas... would you go along with that? What have you made of Wolves?

"They are a team who can play in different tactical schemes. When they need to make changes they can bring on a substitute that doesn't alter the quality of the team.

"They have wingers who are very good. It is not easy to find good wingers in football at the moment. They're a team who defends well without this preventing them from attacking.

"When they attack they are always cautious of what they leave behind. Very few times have I seen them completely dominated."
