Leeds United will be looking for a fifth successive victory this weekend as they host the west Yorkshire derby at Elland Road.The Whites face Huddersfield Town where a victory would keep the pressure on league leaders West Brom, who are only one point ahead of them with ten games remaining.Ahead of the match, Marcelo Bielsa revealed that he would have the same squad at his disposal, meaning those that featured in their 4-0 thrashing of Hull City will be involved once again.Therefore, Jean-Kevin Augustin and Ian Poveda will be absent, and The Athletic’s Phil Hay has provided reasons to why the former has been missing lately.
The 22-year-old has only been able to play for a total of 48 minutes since joining on loan from RB Leipzig in January while he hasn’t even been named in the matchday squad for back-to-back outings.
Hay has revealed that he is suffering with a hamstring issue, which won’t help his chances of securing a move long-term as super-sub Tyler Roberts stepped up in his absence to bag a brace at the KCOM Stadium last weekend.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
Leeds do indeed have an option on Augustin this summer if they do indeed wish to keep hold of him.
