Bielsa admits to ‘difficult’ week as Leeds boss; provides update on integral trio

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has revealed that this week has been one of his toughest at Elland Road.

The Whites put in a mediocre performance last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Southampton. Chelsea loanee Armando Broja scored the only goal to give Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men all three points at St Mary’s.

Bielsa clearly missed the attacking influence of Raphinha and Patrick Bamford. The former was missing due to international duty, while the latter is recovering from an ankle problem.

Leeds defended well but could not find an equaliser. The defeat left them with just one win from their first eight matches of the campaign. They had picked up three victories by this stage last season, as well as a hard-earned draw against Manchester City at home.
