Jesse Marsch press conference RECAP: Leeds United head coach on Chelsea, Ayling, injuries and more
Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch spoke to the media this morning ahead of his side's penultimate home game of the season versus Chelsea
Leeds dropped into the bottom three at the weekend having fallen to defeat at Arsenal and others results going against them elsewhere.
Everton's win over Leicester City - a first away victory since August for the Toffees - meant they hoisted themselves above relegation rivals Leeds and Burnley.
Due to the Whites' unfavourable goal difference, Marsch's side slipped into the relegation zone after finding themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline at the Emirates Stadium, a game in which Luke Ayling was shown a straight red card for a two-footed lunge on Gabriel Martinelli.
Ayling will be absent for the remainder of the season through suspension, while Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts and Crysencio Summerville will all play no part between now and the end of the campaign due to injury.
Marsch is hopeful Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper will be able to feature in Leeds' three remaining fixtures.
On Tuesday morning, the American discussed injuries and the task at hand during his pre-Chelsea press conference.
