Illan Meslier - Makes two saves in draw Meslier made two saves and two clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Burnley.

Impact Meslier had a quiet outing and wasn't really tested, but conceded in the second half and they had to push for a late equalizer on the road. The goalkeeper has yet to keep a clean sheet in the season after three games, and will look for his first when they host Liverpool on Sep 12.

Mateusz Klich - Tests positive for COVID-19 Klich tested positive for COVID-19 recently, he announced in an Instagram story.

Impact Klich will have to isolate for at least 10 days since his positive test before he can return. He missed Sunday's draw against Burnley, but he may be back in time for the Liverpool clash after the international break.

Diego Llorente - Ready for full 90 Llorente started the midweek match and is ready for a full 90 in league play, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact It looks like Llorente will be an option to start again after dealing with another muscle injury. He's most likely to take the spot of Pascal Struijk in the starting XI, but that may not happen immediately given his constant injuries in the past year.

Robin Koch - Dealing with minor injury Koch is dealing with "pain in his pubis" and is expected to remain out Sunday against Burnley. According to manager Marcelo Bielsa, he is "evolving, but not completely healthy."

Impact Koch was a surprise absence in the Everton draw and then he remained out midweek for the League Cup match. It's unclear the severity of the injury, but Leeds have a few options to use in his place on the back line, though they can also change formations on the fly after using a 3-3-3-1 last match.

Diego Llorente - Starting Cup match Llorente (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's Cup match against Crewe Alexandra.

Impact Llorente is a nice boost to the squad Tuesday after missing the first two matches of the season because of injury. He constantly battled injuries last season, but once fully healthy, he could move into the starting XI, especially given how Leeds have looked in the back the first two matches.

Kalvin Phillips - Creates two chances in draw Phillips had one shot not on target, two chances created and two tackles (one won) in 90 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Phillips was back in the squad Saturday and well enough to go a full 90. Despite him being back, Leeds still had some issues in the back, something that's expected to get better as the season moves along. Phillips took 57 corners last season, but a lot of those were prior to the arrival of Raphinha.

Liam Cooper - Assists goal Saturday Cooper assisted to go with a shot not on target and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Cooper saved some fantasy value with an assist Saturday, but he otherwise produced minimal numbers. He made the score-sheet just once last season, but more worrying is that he already has two yellow cards after accruing four from 25 starts the prior campaign.

Mateusz Klich - Scores in draw Klich scored from three shots to go with three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Klich had a solid 60 minutes Saturday, getting forward a bit in an up and down match. His main downside, which was the case last season, is that he's often a favorite to be subbed off early, something to constantly keep in mind no matter the matchup.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Raphinha - Racks up stats in draw Raphinha scored to go with six shots, eight crosses and five fouls drawn in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Raphinha was at his best Saturday, scoring a goal from open play and doing a bit of everything. He's providing much higher returns than anyone else on the team at this point and that's before getting to his dominant role on set pieces.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Bamford - Assists against Everton Bamford had an assist to go with three shots and one yellow card in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Bamford had another down match Saturday and he now doesn't have a shot on goal through two matches. He managed 48 shots on goal in 38 matches last season and he's already behind the ball to go with a yellow card. He totaled three shots in two starts against Burnley last season, so it could be another poor performance Sunday.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Illan Meslier - Saves six in 2-2 draw Meslier made six saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Impact Meslier once again allowed multiple goals Saturday, similar to early performances from last season. Leeds will figure out their defensive problems at some point, but until then, he won't be easy to trust. That said, he averaged four saves per start last season, so it looks like he'll continue that pace in the new campaign.
