Leeds United will be without four players for Saturday afternoon's Premier League clash with Watford.

Leeds United will be missing four players for Saturday afternoon's Premier League clash with Watford at Elland Road.

Raphinha and Diego Llorente have both been passed fit following recent issues, while Pascal Struijk is available after completing his Premier League suspension.

However, speaking during Thursday's pre-match press conference, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa revealed that Patrick Bamford, Robin Koch and Luke Ayling would all miss the match, while Adam Forshaw remains unavailable for selection due to a thigh problem.

"Raphinha is available, Patrick Bamford is not. Another player who was injured, who is now available, is Diego Llorente," Bielsa told reporters. "Bamford has an ankle injury which will take him a few more weeks to resolve. It hasn't been a simple injury.

"Luke Ayling has a problem in his knee that is going to require a simple surgical intervention, that will also require some time after this procedure is done.

"Robin Koch has a problem in his pubis which is a very rebellious injury, where there is no prognostic of when he will be recovered. It can last a short period of time, or a long period of time. That is subject to his evolution."

Leeds are still waiting for their first win of the 2021-22 Premier League season, with a total of three points from six matches leaving them in 18th position in the table.
