Leeds United have named two trialists in their under-23 line-up to take on Crewe Alexandra this afternoon.

Leeds have French goalkeeper Mory Diaw and Spanish centre-back Julio Lopez in their starting team for the fixture.

Diaw most recently played for Mafra, a Portuguese second division club, where he was a regular starter.

Diaw originally came through at Paris Saint Germain, but he failed to make an appearance for the French giant’s first-team.

Lopez, meanwhile, has spent this season on loan at Barnsley from Sporting Gijon.

Lopez has never made a first-team appearance for the Tykes, but has been a regular at development squad level.

The 21-year-old is capped at Spanish under-19 level, and has played a considerable number of times for Sporting Gijon’s B team.

At the time of writing, Leeds were drawing 1-1 with Crewe – with Sammy Amissah scoring the Whites’ only goal at Gresty Road.
