Giovanni Leoni (knee), of course, remains out for the season while Conor Bradley (unspecified) and Jeremie Frimpong (thigh) are doubts for the weekend. Both could make the matchday squads here, provided they pass late fitness tests.
Said Slot on Tuesday:
“Connor got into a training session yesterday for the first time. He is not 100 per cent yet; we need to manage it a bit, so don’t get your hopes up too soon. I hope he will be available for Leeds.’
“We expect the same with Jeremie next week.”
Predicted Starting XI at Leeds United
Alisson; Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Ryan Gravenberch, Dominic Szoboszlai; Mo Salah, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak
