Some Leeds United fans on social media have been urging Marcelo Bielsa to not change his centre-back partnership against Burnley despite the fact Liam Cooper is back fit.

Fans are rather worried that Cooper will be put back into the team after his return from injury.

The Leeds captain had been out of action for a number of weeks due to a combination of suspension and injury, and in his absence, Pascal Struijk and Diego Llorente have established themselves as quite a formidable pairing.

Cooper is now back available for selection, but supporters don’t want to see him put back into the starting XI just yet.

Leeds have been brilliant defensively without Cooper in the side conceding just four goals in four games, despite the fact they’ve had to play the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham during that time.

Leeds will be aiming to pick up as many points as possible between now and the end of the season, and it’s clear that supporters think that Struijk and Llorente should keep their spots at the back.

Here’s what the Elland Road faithful have been saying on social media…
