Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has posted a message on Instagram regarding his absence from the squad today.

Meslier is not part of the Leeds matchday squad for their Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion at Elland Road this afternoon.

Kiko Casilla, who was criticised for his performance against Crawley Town in the FA Cup last weekend, is in the starting lineup for the Whites.

Meslier is the first-choice goalkeeper for Leeds, and he has sent a message on Instagram regarding his absence today.

Big game for Kiko Casilla

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa defended Casilla strongly in his pre-match match conference, even though some fans were not convinced, as covered by HITC Sport.

The Spaniard was at fault for two of the three goals that Leeds conceded against Crawley last weekend.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper will have to step up his game against Brighton today and has to show more confidence and calmness between the posts.

Leeds have a good team and are brilliant going on the attack, but defensively they need to do better and have to keep it tight at the back against Brighton.
