Here are the latest updates -
Pablo Hernandez
Hernandez has endured a stop-start campaign back in the top flight with Leeds. An injury in the warm-up of this season's first home game against Fulham sidelined him early on and he was dropped for the defeat to Crystal Palace before the international break.
The Spaniard picked up a muscular injury in the days leading to the Arsenal clash, but Bielsa was quick to downplay the severity of it.
"We add Pablo to the injury list as he picked up a muscular injury during this week," he said prior to the Arsenal match. "Nothing serious, but he won’t be able to play this weekend."
Hernandez has now also been ruled out of the Everton match.
Diego Llorente
Diego Llorente is yet to make his Leeds United debut, with a groin injury picked up in the October international break sidelining him. Bielsa revealed last week that Llorente had suffered a setback in training, but is now on the way back.
What happened with Llorente was that he was injured, he recovered and on the training session that he started training again he had a relapse. He is now cured, but because of the relapse he is being given extra time to fully get back just to be sure."
By the sounds of it, Llorente is not too far from being named in a matchday squad once again.
Jamie Shackleton
Midfielder Jamie Shackleton has also been on the treatment table after picking up a muscular injury prior to the Palace defeat.
Bielsa confirmed on Thursday he remains sidelined for the Everton trip.
