Helder Costa and Eddie Nketiah joined Leeds United on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal respectively.

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has suggested to Leeds Live that Wolverhampton Wanderers-owned Helder Costa and Arsenal-owned Eddie Nketiah could feature against Brentford this week.

Portugal international winger Costa, 25, joined Leeds on loan from Premier League club Wolves in the summer transfer window.

The Championship outfit also secured the services of 20-year-old forward Nketiah on loan from Arsenal.

While the winger has played just 38 minutes in the Championship for Leeds so far this season, the forward has yet to feature in the league for the Whites.

Both Costa and Nketiah were in action for the Leeds Under-23 side against their Millwall counterparts on Monday, but first-team head coach Bielsa has suggested that the two players could be involved against Brentford at Elland Road in the Championship on Wednesday evening.

Bielsa told Leeds Live when asked if back-ups are ready to play against Brentford: “We have no doubt these players are ready. The idea is to have 18 who can play in the first XI. Costa and Nketiah are at this level.”

Exciting

Both Costa and Nketiah are exciting players who are going to be important for Leeds this season, and the Elland Road faithful should be looking forward to watching them in action against Brentford on Wednesday.
