Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that he is going to make a last minute change and push Ben White into midfield.
Kalvin Phillips is set to miss the rest of the season with injury, which is a major blow to Leeds as they look to get over the line.
Phillips has been one of Leeds star players this season, and he will be a huge miss for the remainder of the campaign.
But Bielsa does have a back-up plan, and has suggested that he wants to push White into midfield.
“I think Ben White,” Bielsa said, when asked who would move into Leeds’ midfield.
White moving into midfield obviously opens up a slot in defence.
Leeds seem likely to bring in Gaetano Berardi, as they seek to secure their promotion.
The Whites are next in action on Thursday, when they take on Barnsley, and they could have an opportunity to seal promotion by then.
Leeds are six points clear of Brentford, so if the Bees slip up, then they will only need to avoid defeat to be guaranteed of making a return to the Premier League.
