No fresh injuries and Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla to keep place against Bristol City

GOALKEEPER Kiko Casilla will keep his place in the Leeds United side for Saturday's Championship hosting of Bristol City for which head coach Marcelo Bielsa has no fresh injury worries.

Three days after being beaten at his near post in Saturday's 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, another Casilla error gifted Brentford an opening goal in Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at Griffin Park.

Casilla failed to control a simple square ball back-pass - allowing Said Benrahma to net with a tap in - but the Spaniard will keep his place against the Robins.

Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa has also confirmed that Patrick Bamford will keep his place in the lone striker role despite netting in just one of United's last nine games via a brace in the 3-2 win at home to Millwall.

Asked if there would be any changes to the side this weekend, Bielsa said: "Is the question linked with any player in particular?

"Casilla is going to play, and Bamford as well.

"There is no news about injuries, all the players that played against Brentford are in good condition to play."

Bielsa also confirmed that Robbie Gotts is currently out with a muscular injury from five weeks ago and United also look set to be without Tyler Roberts who took a knock to his calf in last weekend's defeat at Forest.

Roberts was thought to be looking at two weeks out while Adam Forshaw is out for the season with an ongoing hip problem and heading for surgery in the USA.
