Leeds are still waiting for their first Premier League win this term, after they only managed a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at St. James’ Park on Friday night.

 

The Whites suffered an injury blow ahead of the game when Jack Harrison was ruled out, while Raphinha picked up a hip problem during the game as well.

 

 

Leeds are struggling with several injuries at the moment and Dorigo conceded that he is expecting a very different looking team against Fulham in an EFL Cup third-round clash on Tuesday night.

 

He stressed that there is no way Bielsa can hope to put out a side close to resembling full-strength given all the problems in his squad at the moment due to injuries and suspensions.

 

 

Dorigo said on LUTV: “We might see a lot of players because I can’t see how we can put out anywhere near a full-strength side.

 

“Simply because we don’t have the numbers and also one or two are nursing injuries.

 

 

“It will be interesting to see what happens but needs must, the lads did great tonight and we got our point.

 

“I am sure whatever side goes out there on Tuesday will give it their all but I can’t see the strongest of sides.”

 

With Leeds off to a slow start to the season, Bielsa is likely to prioritise the game against West Ham next weekend over the EFL Cup game on Tuesday night.
