Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa says that star man Raphinha has not yet returned to training and is unlikely to feature against Manchester United.
The Brazilian has not played since being on the end of a heavy challenge from Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho. The clash happened right at the death in
Leeds‘ 2-1 win, but left the Whites man in pain. As such, he missed the 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Elland Road on Monday.
Bielsa would like to welcome the star signing back into the fold for Sunday’s clash with the Red Devils.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney is eager to prove that he can play in the Premier League amid links to several top-flight clubs.
The 25-year-old is enjoying a stellar first season for Brentford. He has already bagged 29 goals from 40 Championship appearances and helped the Bees to fourth in the standings. But, regardless of whether Thomas Frank’s side gain promotion to the Premier League, it seems likely
Toney will be there in 2021-2022.
Many clubs have shown in interest. Arsenal, Leeds United and West Ham were all mentioned in connection with the striker last month.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has identified Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico as an ‘ideal signing’ for this summer’s transfer window, a report claims.
The Whites enjoyed a solid first transfer window upon their Premier League return, securing several key signings. Raphinha has arguably proved the best of the bunch, adding an exciting attacking dimension. What’s more, Bielsa shored up his defence with the captures of Robin Koch and Diego Llorente.
However, left-back is one area in which the manager failed to bolster his ranks.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa admitted that it’s a blow Jack Harrison is unavailable to face his parent club Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
City winger
Harrison, in his third season on loan, has recaptured some of his top form in
Leeds’ previous two matches. Harrison’s opening goal in last week’s home Yorkshire derby win against Sheffield United was his seventh Premier League goal of the season, while he has registered five assists.
He currently sits above England pair Mason Mount and Phil Foden in the Premier League’s goals and assists chart.

Reports claim striker Patrick Bamford will sign a contract extension with Leeds United before the start of next season.
Bamford’s current Elland Road deal is set to expire at the end of 2021-2022. His form for the Whites has seen other clubs linked, with former employers Chelsea thought to be keen. He was on the Stamford Bridge books between 2012 and 2017 but did not kick a ball for the Blues. The Grantham-born ace enjoyed loan spells with Milton Keynes, Derby County, Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Norwich and Burnley.
