Leeds United have suffered a massive blow today after Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that Kalvin Phillips will not take part in the remaining three matches.

While the Argentine has hinted that Ben White is likely to fill the role, he has remained tight-lipped about the goalkeeping situation.

Illan Meslier has been simply outstanding in the absence of Kiko Casilla who was suspended for eight matches following an alleged racist comment directed at Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko.

However, Casilla has served his suspension, and he is back in contention for selection.

Bielsa usually does not like to make unnecessary changes to the side but he didn’t give any hint whether Meslier will keep the gloves against Barnsley in the midweek.

“I didn’t define the team yet so I prefer the players to know first and after I can make a statement,” said the Whites head coach.

Many Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction to Bielsa’s comment. Some of the fans feel that the Argentine would be making a huge mistake if he starts with the Spaniard.

Let's see what happens before putting the manager down, for me he keeps his place 100% . I've never really questioned marcelo before as he knows best but this would be a huge mistake in my eyes but as I said let's wait and see guys . #Lufc

If he starts casilla it could honestly cost us promotion and massively prove bielsa has his favourites no matter what form a player is in

He is so playing and it’s wrong, based on nothing else but form it’s wrong and taking the reason why he was banned even more wrong.

Since when has Marcelo listened to anyone else, he's his own man and it wouldn't surprise me if Cassilla does start, I hope Meslier keeps his place though
