Three Leeds United players who need to be dropped after Cardiff defeat

Leeds must ring the changes to face Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.

Leeds United slipped to a disappointing loss against Cardiff City in midweek, and face Sheffield Wednesday up next.

The Whites made several changes to the side which beat Ipswich Town 3-2 days earlier, and must rotate the team again for the visit to Hillsborough.

Leeds are forced into a switch at centre-back with Liam Cooper suspended, and loanee Matthew Pennington likely to come in.

Here are three further changes Leeds should make…

Mateusz Klich out

Polish international midfielder Klich will be disappointed with his display, in his first Championship start for Leeds.

It is too early to write him off, but Leeds have better alternatives in midfield at present.

Eunan O’Kane missed the Cardiff game due to illness and if he is healthy he should come straight back into midfield.

Pablo Hernandez out

Spanish magician Pablo Hernandez had a poor game against Cardiff and was substituted early.

The attacker should make way for the impressive Samu Saiz, who should be disappointed to have been left out of the team.

Hernandez could still play a crucial role off the bench at Hillsborough, but may be best out of the starting line-up.

Kemar Roofe out
