Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has suggested to Leeds Live that he believes Helder Costa and Stuart Dallas will be fit enough to feature at the weekend against Swansea City. 

Costa and Dallas both shock off knocks to return to Leeds’ starting line-up yesterday, and they were in wonderful as the Whites’ dismantled Stoke City.

Leeds won 5-0 in the contest, with Bielsa’s men completely dominating the game. 

Bielsa surely won’t want to be making many changes to his Leeds line-up after such a wonderful performance.

And the Argentine boss is confident that Dallas and Costa will be fit enough to start again at the weekend.

“Now I think yes,” he said when asked about the fitness of the duo. “But from now to Sunday it may be something I can find out.”

Leeds’ win against Stoke has calmed nerves around Elland Road, after the chasing pack had gained ground on them.

Leeds’ promotion rivals all won in midweek, but Bielsa’s men sent out a message with their performance last night.

The Whites are now sat six points clear of third placed Brentford, with just four games to go.
