Hi Folks
Leeds will defend the slenderest of leads back to fortress Elland Road for the second leg of the Semi Final Play offs without key striker Kemar Roofe.
The Whites leading scorer picked up a calf injury during the first leg, and with Bielsa having one eye on Wembley, does not want to risk further damage.
Bielsa also stated at his presser earlier today that Roberts, Alioski and Forshaw would all be ruled out of the final at Wembley, should Leeds make it!
Jansson who Bielsa described as the best player in the Championship has a 50/50 chance of starting. Berardi, who had a faultless game on Saturday is on standby. Interestingly, at today's presser, Bielsa described Berardi as indispensable!
Young Jamie Shackleton will deputise for Forshaw. Could this be a blessing in disguise?
Derby forward Martyn Waghorn is still a doubt after missing the first leg with an Achilles tendon injury.
No side has lost at home in the first leg and gone on to the final!
