Leeds Utd (H) 4:30pm 5th April Easter Sunday Eggsellent
Oh well, here we go
First the good news. C&H report that Summerville is back training with the first team and Nuno is planning to put out a strogn side
Now the not so good news. Fernandes and Wan-Bissaka both played in the early hours of Wednesday morning on the other side of the Atlantic. Fernandes was a 2nd half substitute in Portugal's win over USA in Atlanta while Wan-Bissaka played in Congo's win over Jamaica in Guadalajara.
One plus is Leeds' AM Brenden Aaronson also played in Atlanta
Leeds don't appear to have any major injuries, the only doubt is Swiss LW/CF Noah Okafor (AC Milan £18m) who has only returned against Brentford after a month out with a hamstring
Farke has gone with a 3-4-1-2 the last two matches, pairing top scorer Calvertt-Lewin (10 goals) with 2nd top scorer Lukas Nmecha (Wolfsburg, free, 7 goals). However in the last six games he's also used 4-5-1 and 5-4-1 so who knows
Assists are evenly spread with 6 players on 3 a piece but one of them is Anton Stach, 2nd only to Bruno Fernandes for key passes per game.
Based on the last six games...
Darlow
Rodon Bijol Struijk
Bogle Ampadu (c) Stach Gudmundsson
Aaronsson
Calvert-Lewin Nmecha
Win, baby, win

Thanks
The changes from Villa for me would be Bowen, Fernandes, Diouf, AWB and Tatty rested
In come Trarore, Magassa, Walker Peters, Scarles, Wilson
Stach "struggling with some hip problems"
Calvert-Lewin "felt some problems with the hamstring" and "was not involved in team training"
Other than that everyone available for Sunday
Mavropanos went off with a head injury towards the end of the game against Paraguay on Friday and was left out of the squad for Tuesday's match against Hungary
No news about Todibo
Bowen after the Japan game "We’ve got the chance for an FA Cup semi-final. I’ve got a chance to come here and lead them out, which would be such a special thing for me.”
Bowen will play the full 90 minutes (or longer)
