Leeds United fans have been left delighted at the news that Raphinha and Diego Llorente are available for their clash against Watford this weekend.
Big news
Marcelo Bielsa confirmed at his press conference yesterday that the Leeds duo were fit for selection on Saturday.
The club’s official Twitter account was quick to share the good news with Whites fans.
And the reaction to the tweet shows the importance of both Llorente and Raphinha to Leeds’ side.
Defensive improvement
Llorente has not been used much this season after his injury issue, but his return should make Leeds’ much stronger at the back.
BIelsa’s options have been seriously limited in defence recently, with Pascal Struijk suspended and Robin Koch out.
Raphinha, meanwhile, asked to be substituted last weekend in Leeds’ match against West Ham United.
However, it seems that he has quickly recovered from that knock, in what looks a major boost.
Raphinha has already netted three times this season and has been the Whites’ most consistent performer since the start of the campaign.
Leeds go into their game against Watford still searching for their first win of the new term.
