Leeds United are set to take on Bolton Wanderers in their first match of the Championship season.
Leeds United fans are worried that Liam Cooper is set to start against Bolton Wanderers on Sunday.
Leeds get their season under way with a match at the Macron Stadium, but Thomas Christiansen’s options at centre-back look short.
Leeds have been searching for two new central defenders for much of the summer so far, but they have only been able to bring in Matthew Pennington on loan from Everton.
With Pontus Jansson out with suspension, it seems likely that Cooper will line-up in the heart of Leeds’ defence.
And Whites fans are concerned that the former Chesterfield man will feature for them.
If Christiansen does want to avoid playing Cooper, then he does have options, but they would involve playing key members of his squad out of position.
Luke Ayling, who is generally deployed on the right hand side of defence, has filled in at centre-back previously, and could perform a function there again, if required.
