Tyler Roberts set for Leeds United debut as striker included in squad to face Southend United - Leeds Live
Tyler Roberts is in line for his Leeds United debut after the striker was included in the squad to face Southend United.
Marcelo Bielsa's men have made the trip down to Roots Hall for their third pre-season friendly of the summer, following last week's win at Forest Green Rovers and draw with York City.
And again, the United head coach has made a host of changes for the clash with the League One side.
Only four players who turned out at York have travelled to the seaside today, with Kamil Miazek, Laurens de Bock, Ryan Edmondson and Jordan Stevens all being included again.
But the most eye-catching inclusion in the Leeds squad is January signing Roberts, who was a £2.5million arrival at the end of the January transfer window under former boss Thomas Christiansen.
The 19-year-old suffered a crack in his shin during training shortly after his arrival and now - six months and two managers later - he is primed for his first appearance in a Leeds shirt.
Elsewhere in the squad, there is still no sign of the club's most recent signing Jamal Blackman, with Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Miazek the two goalkeepers to travel, while the likes of Forest Green Rovers goalscoring pair Kemar Roofe and Luke Ayling are also back in the squad.
Adam Forshaw, Liam Cooper, Gjanni Alioski, Stuart Dallas, Samu Saiz, Kalvin Phillips and Gaetano Bernardi are also returning to the fold after they skipper the York fixture.
Leeds United squad for Southend:
Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Kamil Miazek, Luke Ayling, Adam Forshaw, Liam Cooper, Kemar Roofe, Gjanni Alioski, Tyler Roberts, Laurens de Bock, Stuart Dallas, Samu Saiz, Kalvin Phillips, Gaetano Berardi, Ryan Edmondson, Jordan Stevens
